C# : Modify a xml node
Try this:
xml.SelectSingleNode("//reminder/Title").InnerText = "NewValue";
Your foreach
line is simply looping through a list of elements called "reminders", not it's child nodes.
Take a look at this xpath tutorial for more information:

If you want to use linq with xml (I find it the best way) then you will want to use the System.Xml.Linq
namespace. The classes in that namespace are all prefixed with just X
not Xml
. The functionality in this namespace is newer, better and much easier to manipulate with Linq.
var xml = XDocument.Load("0.xml");
var alarm1 = xml.Descendants("reminder")
.Single(r => r.Element("Title") == "Alarm1");
This code will give you a variable, alarm1
that is the reminder that has a title node of "Alarm1."
From that point its not clear to me exactly what you want to modify. If you just want to change the title then ...
alarm1.Element("Title").Value = "MODIFIED";
xml.Save("0.xml");
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("0.xml");
IEnumerable<XElement> rech =
from el in doc.Root.Elements("reminder")
where (string)el.Element("Title") == "Alarm1"
select el;
if (rech.Count() != 0)
{
foreach (XElement el in rech)
{
el.Element("Title").SetValue("NEW TITLE");
}
}
doc.Save("0.xml");
