Hi,

I am trying to comment out an xml node but not sure how to.
I am able to change the attributes inside the node.
The XML format is:

XML

<Main>
  <Services>
   <Service name="01">
    <Uses>
     <Use type="front">
      <Member name="01"/>
     </Use>
    </Uses>
   </Service>
  </Services>
  <Adaptors>
   <Adaptor name="cash" start="true"/>
  </Adaptors>
</Main>

What I would like to do is to comment out the adaptor with the name "cash".

Any ideas?

Additional information copied from comment below
Sorry, don't think my question was very clear.

I am using vb.net.
Im loading the xml file as a new XmlDocument.
I am then doing the following:

VB

attr = MyXML.SelectSingleNode("/Main/Adaptors/Adaptor[@name='cash']")

Am able to comment the node using vb.net?

Not really a valid question. Anyway, programmatically, or what? What XML API do you use?

Solution 1

Use the standard comment characters. [Edit: I see you wanted to comment out the Adapters node] For example, if you want to comment out the 'Adapters' node,

XML

<Main>
  <Services>
   <Service name="01">
    <Uses>
     <Use type="front">
      <Member name="01"/>
     </Use>
    </Uses>
   </Service>
  </Services>
  <Adaptors>
   <!-- <Adaptor name="cash" start="true"/> -->
  </Adaptors>
</Main>
