Inserting Data To An XML Document

The XmlNode and XmlDocument classes can be used to insert XML data into an existing XML document or create a new one. The document can be loaded using the LoadXml method which takes an XML string. New data can then be inserted into the document by creating a DocumentFragment with the new XML, getting a reference node, and using InsertAfter to add it after the last child of the reference node. The updated document is then saved to a new file.
