Assuming your root element employee exists on the XML file, there would be a problem on your code, since myxmlnode will always point to null if your root node does not have child elements at the moment. You can probably edit the way you assign the value like this.

C#

XmlNode myxmlnode = myxmldocument.DocumentElement;

And then, you can then add child nodes to your root node(employee) like this.

C#

XmlElement myXmlElement = myxmldocument.CreateElement("Name");
myXmlElement.InnerText = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox1.Text);
myxmlnode.AppendChild(myXmlElement);

Solution 2

Is this working correctly i add childs like this

C#

XmlText text = myxmldocument.CreateTextNode(Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox1.Text)); myxmldocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(myXmlElement);
myxmldocument.DocumentElement.LastChild.AppendChild(text);

But o/p shows correct format.....
