passing xmlnode to vb.net function

Question

I have function in my asp.net/vb application with following signature:

Public Function ExtractText(node As XmlNode) As String

I want to call it/pass xmlnode. How to create an Xml node with value:

<mynode Id="7743" Type="context" StartNode="4356" EndNode="1234"></mynode>

Please suggest

Here's one way of doing this:

Dim xmlDoc as new XmlDocument()
Dim xmlElem = xmlDoc.CreateElement("mynode")
xmlElem.SetAttribute("Id","7743")

This returns:

<mynode Id="7743" />

Since the type XmlElement inherits from XmlNode you can simply pass this to your function:

ExtractText(xmlElem)
