Append XML Child Node (Additional problems)

[Guest]

I orginally asked this question on friday, and made some progress, but now I
am getting an error.

What is the type of xmlProductName (check the runtime type in the debugger)?

The debug output is as follows.

Here is my complete code.

Dim xmlFile As String = xmlLocation()
Dim xmlDoc As XmlDocument

Private Sub Products_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
xmlDoc = New XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load(xmlFile)


End Sub

Private Sub bttnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles bttnAdd.Click
AddProduct(xmlDoc.ChildNodes(0))
'xmlDoc.Save("..\xmldoc.xml")
End Sub

Private Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnClose.Click
xmlDoc.Save("..\xmldoc.xml")
Me.Close()
End Sub

Private Sub AddProduct(ByVal node As XmlNode)
Dim xmlProductName = txtProduct.Text
Dim xmlCompanyName = txtCompany.Text
Dim xmlAddress = txtAddress.Text
Dim xmlCity = txtCity.Text
Dim xmlState = cmboState.Text
Dim xmlZip = txtZip.Text
node.AppendChild(xmlProductName)
node.AppendChild(xmlCompanyName)
node.AppendChild(xmlAddress)
node.AppendChild(xmlCity)
node.AppendChild(xmlState)
node.AppendChild(xmlZip)
End Sub
