Change XML root element name

Question

I have XML stored in string variable:

<ItemMasterList><ItemMaster><fpartno>xxx</fpartno><frev>000</frev><fac>Default</fac></ItemMaster></ItemMasterList>

Here I want to change XML tag <ItemMasterList> to <Masterlist>. How can I do this?

System.Xml.XmlDocument and the associated classes in that same namespace will prove invaluable to you here.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(yourString);
XmlDocument docNew = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement newRoot = docNew.CreateElement("MasterList");
docNew.AppendChild(newRoot);
newRoot.InnerXml = doc.DocumentElement.InnerXml;
String xml = docNew.OuterXml;
