    copied!<p>If I'm understanding you correctly, you can use <code>ImportNode</code> to add data from one xml to another.</p> <p>Something like this.</p> <pre><code>XmlDocument doc1 = new XmlDocument(); doc1.Load("config.xml"); XmlDocument doc2 = new XmlDocument(); doc2.Load("configtemplate.xml"); XmlNode doc1root, doc2root, importNode; doc1root = doc1.DocumentElement; doc2root = doc2.DocumentElement; foreach(XmlNode node in doc2root.ChildNodes) { importNode = doc1root.OwnerDocument.ImportNode(node, true); doc1root.AppendChild(importNode); } </code></pre> <p>This way it import <code>&lt;Database&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;Services&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;Options&gt;</code> from <strong>configtemplate.xml</strong> into <strong>config.xml</strong> under <code>&lt;config&gt;</code></p> <p>In your case, you will need to know the tag you want to import from and to, which is not specified in your example.</p> <p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p> <p><code>doc1root</code> is the root tag of <strong>config.xml</strong>, which is <code>&lt;config&gt;</code></p> <p><code>doc2root</code> is the root tag of <strong>configtemplate.xml</strong>, which is <code>&lt;config&gt;</code></p> <p>in the <code>foreach</code> loop, you are looping through each child node of <code>doc2root</code> (which are <code>&lt;Database&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;Services&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;Options&gt;</code>), and adding each child node to be a child of <code>doc1root</code></p> <p>With the above code what you will get is a new <strong>config.xml</strong> that looks like this.</p> <pre><code>&lt;config&gt; &lt;Database&gt; &lt;DataType&gt;1&lt;/DataType&gt; &lt;ServerName&gt;192.168.50.80&lt;/ServerName&gt; // add information here supplied by the configtemplate.xml &lt;/Database&gt; &lt;Services&gt; &lt;Wash&gt;1&lt;/Wash&gt; // add information here supplied by the configtemplate.xml &lt;/Services&gt; &lt;Options&gt; &lt;TaxRate&gt;8.125&lt;/TaxRate&gt; &lt;AskForZipcode&gt;0&lt;/AskForZipcode&gt; // add information here supplied by the configtemplate.xml &lt;/Options&gt; //below are from configtemplate.xml &lt;Database&gt; &lt;DataType&gt;1&lt;/DataType&gt; &lt;ServerName&gt;192.168.50.80&lt;/ServerName&gt; // add all lines below to config.xml &lt;DatabaseName&gt;TestDB&lt;/DatabaseName&gt; &lt;/Database&gt; &lt;Services&gt; &lt;Wash&gt;1&lt;/Wash&gt; // add all lines below to config.xmlxml &lt;Greeter&gt;0&lt;/Greeter&gt; &lt;/Services&gt; &lt;Options&gt; &lt;TaxRate&gt;8.125&lt;/TaxRate&gt; &lt;AskForZipcode&gt;0&lt;/AskForZipcode&gt; // add all lines below to config.xml &lt;AutoSave&gt;1&lt;/AutoSave&gt; &lt;/Options&gt; &lt;/config&gt; </code></pre> <p>By the way, the proper way of commenting in xml is the same as html, which is <code>&lt;!--comment--&gt;</code></p>
