    ' 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 Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        ' Add the Microsoft ticker symbol as an attribute to the Microsoft record.
        Dim xml As 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*"
        Dim microsoft As Chilkat.Xml
        microsoft = xml.FindNextRecord("name", "Microsoft*")
        If Not (microsoft Is Nothing) Then
            microsoft.AddAttribute("symbol", "MSFT")
        End If

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

    End Sub
