Adding attributes in LINQ using element.add

Question

I have to write information from textboxes to XML file on click event. My sample code would look lik this.

XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load(fileName);

        xmlDoc.Element("Mediaplans").Add(new XElement("MediaPlan", new XElement("Media",TxtMedia.Text),
        new XElement("Adtype", TxtAdtype.Text), new XElement("EmailId",TxtEmailId.Text)));

        xmlDoc.Save(fileName).

What I want to know is how do we add attributes to elements with the above method? I am new to this field. any help appreciated.

Thanks, Kruthika

You can call Add and pass an XAttribute too.

You can just use add new XAttribute like you have done with XElement.

Have a look at this link for an example

I believe that you should be able to do something like

XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Load(fileName);



xmlDoc.Element("Mediaplans").Add(new XAttribute("File name", fileName),new XElement("MediaPlan", new XElement("Media",TxtMedia.Text), new XElement("Adtype", TxtAdtype.Text), new XElement("EmailId",TxtEmailId.Text));

xmlDoc.Save(fileName).

Sorry dont have access to VS at the moment so I cant verify the code.

Thank you for your reply. what I was looking for is dynamically add nodes when a click event occurs. The example seems to be about adding nodes statically, By using element.Add, I am only being able to add a new Xelement, If I have a XAttribute ot be added to one of the Xelements, what is the syntax for using it?
