# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
# You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
# 
# Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
# can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.

$xml.AddAttribute("xmlns","http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope")
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("Body|Message",$true,"xmlns","urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1")
$xml.UpdateChildContent("Body|Message","................")

# This is the XML created:
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
# <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
#     <Body>
#         <Message xmlns="urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1">................</Message>
#     </Body>
# </GovTalkMessage>
