I have two XmlDocuments that both have a namespace attribute specified. Both documents have the same structure, but contain different data. I can't seem to get a specific node tree from one document added to the end of the same node tree in a second document. Here is an example of my two documents
ocument #1:\[code\]<?xml version="1.0"?><rootnode xmlns="http://www.mynamespace.com/Service/2012-06-18"> <node0> </node0> <node1> <Item> <Id>1</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>2</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>3</Id> .... </Item> </node1></rootnode>\[/code\]Document #2\[code\]<?xml version="1.0"?><rootnode xmlns="http://www.mynamespace.com/Service/2012-06-18"> <node0> </node0> <node1> <Item> <Id>4</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>5</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>6</Id> .... </Item> </node1></rootnode>\[/code\]What I'm wanting to accomplish:\[code\]<?xml version="1.0"?><rootnode xmlns="http://www.mynamespace.com/Service/2012-06-18"> <node0> </node0> <node1> <Item> <Id>1</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>2</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>3</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>4</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>5</Id> .... </Item> <Item> <Id>6</Id> .... </Item> </node1></rootnode>\[/code\]I'm trying to add all \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] nodes from one document to the other while maintaining the structure of all other nodes. There are an arbitrary number of \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] nodes in either of the documents. Each \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] node has a deep nested number of nodes that describe the Item.\[code\]Dim dstdoc As XmlDocument = myobject1.XmlDocumentDim srcdoc As XmlDocument = myobject2.XmlDocumentDim nsmgr As New XmlNamespaceManager(New NameTable)nsmgr.AddNamespace("ns", "http://www.mynamespace.com/Service/2012-06-18")Dim xpath As String = "ns:rootnode/ns:node1//ns:Item"Dim copiedNode As XmlNode = dstdoc.ImportNode( _ srcdoc.SelectSingleNode(xpath, nsmgr), True)dstdoc.DocumentElement().AppendChild(copiedNode)\[/code\]I certainly know this is wrong... I've tried serveral different approaches. This particular approach adds all \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] nodes to the destination document, but it adds them to the very bottom of the document instead of after the last \[code\]<Item>\[/code\].Could someone please show me how to add a specific node tree an XmlDocument to a specific position in another document? Again, there is a namespace involved and the \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] nodes have nested nodes/elements under each one.NOTE: The \[code\]<Id>\[/code\] nodes have example data to show uniqueness only. I can never count on any kind of numbering. The order of each \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] node is totally unimportant. I'm just assuming it will be easiest to add additional \[code\]<Item>\[/code\] nodes after the last one in the destination document.
