Write attributes

[juli jul]

Hello how can I change/write some attributes in xml document?(for some
elements)
Thank you!

Easiest way would simply be to load in the XML file as an
XMLDocument, edit it how you want and then rewrite it to
the file. (note I said the easiest, not necessarily the
best).

Take a look at the following links for some info on how to
do it:

Hei,
The problem is that I am doing:
File.Copy(this.file_name,this.save_name,true);

Than I want to edit some of the attributes in the new copy ,how can I do
it?
Not to add new attributes but to edit(rewrite) some of the attributes in
the document) How? Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I haven't tested it but you can try it:

FileAttributes yourAttributes;
string yourFilePath;

FileInfo fileInfo=new FileInfo(yourFilePath);
fileInfo.Attributes=(yourAttributes);
fileInfo.Refresh();

//test
if( fileInfo.Attributes==yourAttributes ) {
// all OK ;-)
}
else {
// find another way :-(
}

Don't make a copy first. Load the file with XmlDocument.Load, then
change the attributes, then use XmlDocument.Save to save the new copy.
