Add to XML File

I am using VB.NET 2005.

I need to be able to add to an XML File. If I have the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<applicationlist>
<app>
<name>AC</name>
<srcdir>c:\AC</srcdir>
</app>
</applicationlist>

I want to add a new <app> section to this xml. So I then have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<applicationlist>
<app>
<name>AC</name>
<srcdir>c:\AC</srcdir>
</app>
<app>
<name>NewAppInfo</name>
<srcdir>c:\Info</srcdir>
</app>
</applicationlist>

Thanks for the help.

'Create a new attribute.
Dim newAttr as XmlAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute("genre")
newAttr.Value = "novel"

'Create an attribute collection and add the new attribute
'to the collection.
Dim attrColl as XmlAttributeCollection = doc.DocumentElement.Attributes
attrColl.InsertAfter(newAttr, attrColl.ItemOf(0))

Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML...")
Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml)
