Change XML root element name

Question

Answer 1

You can use LINQ to XML to parse the XML string, create a new root and add the child elements and attributes of the original root to the new root:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse("...");

XDocument result = new XDocument(
    new XElement("Masterlist", doc.Root.Attributes(), doc.Root.Nodes()));
