I'm adding an optional section in C#. I can't use executeAction so I'm using appendChild with the xml I got out of sampledata.xml

The problem is that I have optional sections within this optional section and I want them to remain hidden. Is there a way to add this optional section without adding it's children?

Tried adding the section and then hiding the subsection? just a thought...

You can remove the child section before adding the parent. It would go something like this:

IXMLDOMDocument2 tempdom = (IXMLDOMDocument2)thisXDocument.CreateDOM();
tempdom.async = false;
tempdom.validateOnParse = false;
tempdom.load( "sampledata.xml" );

IXMLDOMNode nToAdd = tempdom.documentElement.selectSingleNode( "/group1/group2" );

IXMLDOMNode nToDelete = nToAdd.selectSingleNode( "group3" );
nToDelete.parentNode.removeChild( nToDelete );

// Now add it to the Main DOM and it won't have that child section (i.e. will be hidden)
