Try This:

VB

Dim newArchive As String = _
            "<archive>" & _
            "    <date>1-1-1993</date>" & _
            "    <name>bill</name>" & _
            "    <email>billmail@yahoo.com</email>" & _
            "    <time>1:39</time>" & _
            "  </archive>"
        Dim xmldoc1 As New XmlDocument()
        xmldoc1.Load("test.xml")
        Dim xmldocFragment As XmlDocumentFragment = xmldoc1.CreateDocumentFragment()
        xmldocFragment.InnerXml = newArchive
        Dim XmlNode1 As XmlNode = xmldoc1.DocumentElement
        XmlNode1.AppendChild(xmldocFragment)
        xmldoc1.Save("test.xml")
