Removing nodes from an XmlDocument

.net, c#, xml, xmldocument

Solution

Instead of

configDoc.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]);

try

projectNodes[i].parentNode.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]);

Problem

The following code should find the appropriate project tag and remove it from the XmlDocument, however when I test it, it says: The node to be removed is not a child of this node. Does anyone know the proper way to do this? ``` public void DeleteProject (string projectName) { string ccConfigPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConfigPath"]; XmlDocument configDoc = new XmlDocument(); configDoc.Load(ccConfigPath); XmlNodeList projectNodes = configDoc.GetElementsByTagName("project"); for (int i = 0; i < projectNodes.Count; i++) { if (projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"] != null) { if (projectName == projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"].InnerText) { configDoc.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]); configDoc.Save(ccConfigPath); } } } } ``` UPDATE Fixed. I did two things: ``` XmlNode project = configDoc.SelectSingleNode("//project[@name='" + projectName + "']"); ``` Replaced the For loop with an XPath query, which wasn't for fixing it, just because it was a better approach. The actual fix was: ``` project.ParentNode.RemoveChild(project); ``` Thanks Pat and Chuck for this suggestion.
