Change XmlNode name?

[Adam Clauss]

I am working on a class who's base class contains a method to generate an
XmlNode (a representation of the object's properties).

Now, in my subclass I will also have an overriden method to do the same
thing, and will simply call the base class first (to take care of all base
class properties before I do mine).
I was hoping I could just take the XmlNode returned by the base class, add
my extra information to it, rename it to my class, and return.

However, it seems you cannot set the name of an XmlNode after it has been
created (the Name property is only get, not set). Is there any way around
this?

Adam,

I don't believe there is a way around this. What you could do though is
create a new node, and then copy all of the children of that node, and
return that. The copy operation should be easy enough.

Hope this helps.
