I have an xml document which is roughly as follows
<Gov>
<Head>
<address></address>
<address></address>
</Head>
<Body>
<line1></line1>
<line1></line1>
</Body>
<Gov>
I need to copy everything in the body(and including) to a new XDocument. What is the best way to
Here is an example of copying data "xml" from one document to another.With selection of personalized node
First you need convert Xdocument to XmlDocument:
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace MyTest
{
internal class Program
{
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocument.LoadXml("<Root><Child>Test</Child></Root>");
var xDocument = xmlDocument.ToXDocument();
var newXmlDocument = xDocument.ToXmlDocument();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public static class DocumentExtensions
{
public static XmlDocument ToXmlDocument(this XDocument xDocument)
{
var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
using(var xmlReader = xDocument.CreateReader())
{
xmlDocument.Load(xmlReader);
}
return xmlDocument;
}
public static XDocument ToXDocument(this XmlDocument xmlDocument)
{
using (var nodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(xmlDocument))
{
nodeReader.MoveToContent();
return XDocument.Load(nodeReader);
}
}
}
}
And now simplified copy with XmlDocument
XmlDocument doc1 = new XmlDocument();
doc1.LoadXml(@"<Hello>
<World>Test</World>
</Hello>");
XmlDocument doc2 = new XmlDocument();
doc2.LoadXml(@"<Hello>
</Hello>");
XmlNode copiedNode = doc2.ImportNode(doc1.SelectSingleNode("/Hello/World"), true);
doc2.DocumentElement.AppendChild(copiedNode);

I hope this help you.
Read in the input XML into one XDocument and construct a second, passing in the node you are interested in:
XDocument newDoc = new XDocument(XDocument.Load("input.xml").Descendants("Body").First());
