How to the replace node names with new name and keep the attributes ?

Answer 1

You can use Name property

var xdoc = XDocument.Load("input.xml");
var nodes=xdoc.Descendants("Test").ToList();//Get all "Test" node 
nodes.ForEach(d => d.Name = "Exam "); // Set name to 'Exam'
xdoc.Save("output.xml");
