Creating a second XML file from one, with encryption...little help.

Zones: Extensible Markup Language (XML), .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: VB.NET, XML

I'm currently creating an application that will run batch and or windows programs/commands, it is XML driven. The main point is to remove any/all need to have plain txt BAT and CMD files that users can get into. Once the XML command file is created it can be tested unencrypted, but the main idea is to then create a second XML file that has specific nodes encrypted. In the XML I'd like to encrypt the values of the 'path' and 'opts' nodes,

I have no idea how to essentually make a copy of one XML file, while only encrypting 2 values of each command record. I'm not new to VB, but I haven't had any real time to stop and learn all about XML yet.

I've included my XML file as a snippet. I already have a very good encryption/decryption routine and know I need to call something along the lines of so (at the right moment)

encrypt (node.value) And I'm using Xpath to read-in the XML and select just the desired XML record, but again, due to my lack of XML expertise, this was given to me as well, and I made some modifications to make it fit my need.

I envision performing something like:
cmdrunner -encrypt -i myraw.xml -o myencrypted.xml

If someone could event just point me in the right direction......
