I have an xml Structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Request>
  <Operations>
    <Command>
      <OpType>login</OpType>
      <Params>
        <UserName>leebo</UserName>
        <Password>leebo</Password>
      </Params>
    </Command>
  </Operations>
</Request>

I'm trying to find out how to change the value of an element, say
<userName>john</UserName>

I'm using an XmlDocument, but I've been searching MSDN and google
groups for a couple of hours and I can't seem to find an answer.

Must I create and use an XMLWriter to perform this one small function?

Basically, I just need to change one element's value.

Sorry for such as basic question.

Hi,

            Yes.  You must read in the document and write it back with the
changes.
