Updating an XML File

[tjvegter]

Hi,

I am creating a form in vb.net in which the user enters his info, and that info needs to be stored in an xml file. I have figured out how to create a new xml file, but I can't figure out how to update the existing xml. For instance the current xml file might look like this:

<xmlData>
<user id="12">
<userFName>firstname</userFName>
<userLName>lastname</userFName>
<userAge>age</userAge>
</user>
</xmlData>

And after a new user enters his information I would need the xml to look like this:

<xmlData>
<user id="12">
<userFName>firstname</userFName>
<userLName>lastname</userFName>
<userAge>age</userAge>
</user>
<user id="13">
<userFName>firstname</userFName>
<userLName>lastname</userFName>
<userAge>age</userAge>
</user>
</xmlData>

Anybody have any ideas? Code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objXMLDoc.async = False
objXMLDoc.load("names.xml")

Dim objCurrNode, objNewNode, objNewText
Set objNewNode = objXMLDoc.createElement("name")
Set objNewText = objXMLDoc.createTextNode("John")
objNewNode.appendChild(objNewText)

Set objCurrNode = objXMLDoc.documentElement
objCurrNode.appendChild(objNewNode)
Set objCurrNode = objCurrNode.lastChild
Response.write(objCurrNode.firstChild.nodeValue)
