Suggested method to insert sub-child into child that already exist

[Program4Food]

I don't even know if I am using the right terminology because I read some call it node, some call it child... I am
still mudding though XML structure, its far more complex once you dig into it then it appears at first glance.

Anyway, say I have an XML that looks like this: (Root elements removed for clarity)

  <ItemList>
    <item>camera</item>
    <item>flash</item>
  </ItemList>

and I want it to look like this:

  <ItemList>
    <item>camera</item>
    <item>flash</item>
    <item>trigger</item>
  </ItemList>

I dont want anyone to write the code for me, just looking for direction.

Everything I have seen was too complex for me to comprehend, and what I could get to work
was making a new <ItemList> instead of inserting it into the one that was already there.

The XML file I will be building and using will have no two elements of the same name (chrildren of the same name?)

Let's say you have a reference to the ItemList element:

element.Add(<item><%= "value" %></item>)

And if you need to add elements with dynamic names at runtime:

element.Add(New XElement("item", "value"))

By the way, node is like the Object data type in VB, the least specific data type.
