Trying to add XElements to my existing XML

Here is my XML:

<PWCScript Version="2011113">
<Table Name="QD" Action="Edit">
<Choose Name="QD_JOB_NUM" Value="10244" />
<Choose Name="QD_DES_SEQ" Value="1" />
<Update Name="QD_DELIV_DATE" Value="01010001" />
<Update Name="QD_DELIV_METH" Value="UPS Blue" />
<Update Name="QD_CONSIGN" Value="571081ce-2c62-46f1-b21a-68ad7b52a984" />
<Update Name="QD_FREIGHT_COST" Value="10.18" />
<Update Name="QD_PACK_NUM" Value="10244:1" />
<Update Name="QD_DES_QTY" Value="500" />
<Update Name="QD_PART_FINAL" Value="QDG_PARTIAL_NONREPREDESP" />
</Table>
</PWCScript>

I am trying to do this:
xeShipmentXML.Element("PWCScript").Element("Table").Add(CreatePackageXML(ec));

I get an object reference error.

I do a quick watch to see what is causing it:
?xeShipmentXML.Element("PWCScript")

That is returning Null.

I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm not really seeing the solution for the problem that I am running into. I have multiple elements with multiple attributes.

Hi

You can do this in two ways

if "ec" is an XElement then you write

xeShipmentXML.Add(ec));

if "ec" is an XML string then you need to write

xeShipmentXML.Add(XElement.Parse(ec));

.net handle all arrange the elements
