Not being tricky with XmlDocument

I am using the XmlDocument class to generate a XML document "on the
fly", I mean, build it in memory so as to extract its contents with the
property "OuterXml".

I know how to create elements and attributes inside these elements, and
text and more elements inside elements... ¡except the first element!
(the DocumentElement). How can I create it? Because I think I am now
using a very "tricky" method...:

using System.Xml;

(...)

XmlDocument miNuevoDocumentoXml = New XmlDocument();
miNuevoDocumentoXml.LoadXml("<ROOT />");

(...)

Is there any other way to create the primary element called ROOT?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Andrew

Try
miNuevoDocumentoXml .DocumentElement =
miNuevoDocumentoXml .CreateElement("ROOT");

Thanks for your answer, Mike, but that property is read-only.

Anyone knows another method?

So it is..

In that case, just do
miNuevoDocumentoXml .AppendChild(miNuevoDocumentoXml
..CreateElement("ROOT"));
