The XmlNode.AppendChild restricts you to add XmlNodes originated in the same XmlDocument. So, to do the above, here is a sample workaround:
[C#]
// destParent and sourceParent are from different XmlDocuments.
// This method will append the children of sourceParent to the destParent’s children.
public static void TransferChildren(XmlDocument destDoc, XmlNode destParent, XmlNode sourceParent)
{
// Create a temporary element into which we will add the children.
XmlElement tempElem = destDoc.CreateElement('Temp');
tempElem.InnerXml = sourceParent.InnerXml;
foreach(XmlNode node in tempElem.ChildNodes)
destParent.AppendChild(node);
}
[VB.Net]
’ destParent and sourceParent are from different XmlDocuments.
’ This method will append the children of sourceParent to the destParent’s children.
Public Static Sub TransferChildren(ByVal destDoc As XmlDocument, ByVal destParent As XmlNode, ByVal sourceParent As XmlNode)
’ Create a temporary element into which we will add the children.
Dim tempElem As XmlElement = destDoc.CreateElement('Temp')
tempElem.InnerXml = sourceParent.InnerXml
Dim node As XmlNode
For Each node In tempElem.ChildNodes
destParent.AppendChild(node)
Next
End Sub
