C# sample code showing how to add an attribute to an XML node.

// Chilkat XML provides methods that make it easy to work with records.
// In this sample code, a company record looks like this:
// <company>
//    <name>Intel Corporation</name> 
//    <address>2200 Mission College Blvd.</address> 
//    <city>Santa Clara</city> 
//    <state>CA</state> 
//    <zip>95052</zip> 
//    <website>http://www.intel.com</website> 
//    <phone>408-765-8080</phone> 
// </company>
private void AddAttribute_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	// Add the Microsoft ticker symbol as an attribute to the Microsoft record.
	Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
	xml.LoadXmlFile("companies.xml");

	// Navigate to the first company record.
	xml.FirstChild2();

	// Find the next XML node where there is a child node having tag "name"
	// with a value that matches the wildcarded pattern "Microsoft*"
	Chilkat.Xml microsoft = xml.FindNextRecord("name","Microsoft*");
	if (microsoft != null)
	{
		microsoft.AddAttribute("symbol","MSFT");
	}

	// Restore our reference to the root of the XML document.
	xml.GetRoot2();
	xml.SaveXml("mod3.xml");
