Sample Code

The following XML is stored in a constant called kXML:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <League>
  	<Team name="Seagulls">
  		<Player name="Bob" position="1B" />
  		<Player name="Tom" position="2B" />
  	</Team>
  	<Team name="Pigeons">
  		<Player name="Bill" position="1B" />
  		<Player name="Tim" position="2B" />
  	</Team>
  	<Team name="Crows">
  		<Player name="Ben" position="1B" />
  		<Player name="Ty" position="2B" />
  	</Team>
  </League>

To add a comment to the first team node:

Var xml As New XmlDocument(kXml)

// Create a Comment and assign it a value
Var xc As XmlComment
xc = xml.CreateComment("TestComment")
xc.Value = "This node contains team information."

// Add the Comment to the XML document
xml.DocumentElement.FirstChild.AppendChild(xc)

TextArea1.Value = xml.ToString
