Change the node names in an XML file using C#

Question

I have a huge bunch of XML files with the following structure:

  someContent
  someType
&         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way I found to rename a node is:

xmlNode.InnerXmL = newNode.InnerXml.Replace("OldName>", "NewName>")

Don't include the opening < to ensure that the closing tag is renamed as well.
