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

I used this method to rename the node:

/// 

/// Rename Node
/// 
/// 
/// 
/// 
private static void RenameNode(XmlNode parentnode, string oldChildName, string newChildName)
{
    var newnode = parentnode.OwnerDocument.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, newChildName, "");
    var oldNode = parentnode.SelectSingleNode(oldChildName);

    foreach (XmlAttribute att in oldNode.Attributes)
        newnode.Attributes.Append(att);
    foreach (XmlNode child in oldNode.ChildNodes)
        newnode.AppendChild(child);

    parentnode.ReplaceChild(newnode, oldNode);
}
