.net - How can I read and edit an XML file using C#?

Question

How can I open and edit an existing XML file? I would like to modify some values like:

<address>myaddr</address>

For example, I would like to put loreal instead if myaddr. I am working in C#. I would appreciate if you can show me some code.

You could use the XDocument class:

var doc = XDocument.Load("test.xml");
var address = doc.Root.Element("address");
if (address != null)
{
    address.Value = "new value";
}
doc.Save("test.xml");
