Change NodeName of an XML tag element using MSXML

Question

I\'d like to change the tag name of a MSXML XMLDOMElement, but unfortunately the nodeName property is read-only. Is there any straightforward way to do it, or have

Answer 1

This is "universal" rename node function (ObjectPascal) using MSXML interfaces, works fine and may be usable:

function RenameXMLTag(e: IXMLNode; NewName: WideString): IXMLNode;
var
 Doc : IXMLDocument;
 NewElem, NParent : IXMLNode;
 DNOld, DNNew : IDOMNode;
 AC : IXMLNodeList;
 i: Integer;
begin
  Doc := e.OwnerDocument;
  NewElem := Doc.CreateNode(NewName, e.NodeType);
  while e.HasChildNodes do
    NewElem.DOMNode.AppendChild(e.DOMNode.firstChild);
  AC := e.AttributeNodes;
  for i := 0 to AC.Count - 1 do
    NewElem.Attributes[AC[i].NodeName] := AC[i].NodeValue;
  NParent := e.ParentNode;
  DNOld := e.DOMNode;
  DNNew := NewElem.DOMNode;
  NParent.DOMNode.replaceChild(DNNew, DNOld);
  Result := NewElem;
end;
