How a XmlNode is added to the file?

[juhaka]

Hi!

How can I add a single node to the end of an existing file? I have a log writing component, where a new log event(XmlNode) is added to the log(XmlDocument) and then the log is written to the file. But this is too heavy way, because the size of the log can raise up to MBs and new log events raise very often in short time. So, I should add only the latest log event (XmlNode) to the file, shouldn't I???

Because of the size problem (which you've discovered), I'd say that an XML file would be the wrong way to implement a log. I'd use an ordinary text file for this, with tab-delimiters to separate the fields. Or write to a database, or a MSMQ that had a listener that wrote the info for you to a file or database.
