Examples

The following example replaces the title element in the XML document.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
   doc->LoadXml( "<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>"
   "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>"
   "</book>" );
   XmlNode^ root = doc->DocumentElement;
   
   //Create a new title element.
   XmlElement^ elem = doc->CreateElement( "title" );
   elem->InnerText = "The Handmaid's Tale";
   
   //Replace the title element.
   root->ReplaceChild( elem, root->FirstChild );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML..." );
   doc->Save( Console::Out );
}

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample {

  public static void Main() {

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml("<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>" +
                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                "</book>");

    XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;

    //Create a new title element.
    XmlElement elem = doc.CreateElement("title");
    elem.InnerText="The Handmaid's Tale";

    //Replace the title element.
    root.ReplaceChild(elem, root.FirstChild);

    Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML...");
    doc.Save(Console.Out);
  }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

Public Class Sample
    
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        
        Dim doc As New XmlDocument()
        doc.LoadXml("<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>" & _
                    "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" & _
                    "</book>")
        
        Dim root As XmlNode = doc.DocumentElement
        
        'Create a new title element.
        Dim elem As XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("title")
        elem.InnerText = "The Handmaid's Tale"
        
        'Replace the title element.
        root.ReplaceChild(elem, root.FirstChild)
        
        Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML...")
        doc.Save(Console.Out)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

If the newChild was created from another document, you can use XmlDocument.ImportNode to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be passed to the ReplaceChild method.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding ReplaceChild in a derived class, in order for events to be raised correctly, you must call the ReplaceChild method of the base class.
