I'm trying to modify an attribute of an xml node. However selecting the attribute is appearing to be a bit more confusing than i thought. Here is my code...
element = root.SelectSingleNode "/nexus/category/node[@className='Family']" attr = element.SelectSingleNode "/nexus/category/node/attributeblocks/attributeblock/attribute[@key='isHidden']" What i don't understand is why i have to define the entire xml tree when selecting the attribute within the selected element. Why can't i write the code like this?
element = root.SelectSingleNode "/nexus/category/node[@className='Family']" attr = element.SelectSingleNode "/node/attributeblocks/attributeblock/attribute[@key='isHidden']" For anyone who is trying to help me out, here is the xml file...
My ultimate goal: How do i select the Family Node and change the attribute isHidden to true then copy the new Family node with it's modified data to the clipboard?
I do know when i copy to the clipboard i would use something like element.OuterXML
