How to create xml element runtime?

Question

I need to create xml element in runtime in the existing xml file. How do i do that in c#? For example, there is a xml file as

<data value = "1">
 <user>one</user>
</data>

I want to create a element in runtime and output should be like this,

 <data value = "1">
   <user>one</user>
   <status>used</status>
 </data>

What have you tried already? There is a myriad of ways to do this in C# as well as a number of questions that are already answered on Stack Overflow dealing with this exact issue :-) . — Martin Zikmund, May 22 '18 at 14:40

Use AooendChild() to add new child node. Try Something like following

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;

//Create a new node.
XmlElement elem = doc.CreateElement("Status");
elem.InnerText="used";

//Add the node to the document.
root.AppendChild(elem);
