Hi, little help with xml please

[danz]

Hi i have an xml file that looks like this (very basic)

[LEFT]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<myRoot />[/LEFT]

I would like to add child element/s to my myRoot element using vb .net2.

I am getting "This document already has a 'DocumentElement' node." Error with the following code

[LEFT]      Dim myXmlDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
      Dim myElement As XmlElement[/LEFT]
 
[LEFT]      myXmlDoc.Load("c:\test.xml")
      myElement = myXmlDoc.CreateElement("newChild")
      myXmlDoc.AppendChild(myElement)[/LEFT]
 
[LEFT]      myXmlDoc.Save("c:\test.xml")[/LEFT]

Can anyone help with this (im new to this) and have googled for a bit which only seemd to complicate it for me.

Visual Studio 2005 (sp1)
dotnet 2.0

myXmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(myElement) should work.
