How do you display an XML file in a WPF App and let the user edit/save it?
Question
So I wrote a WPF program in C# and it reads all of it's configurations from an .xml file.
I would like to provide the user with a basic interface in order to edit existing nodes in the .xml file as well as add new ones.
An example of my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Configurations>
<Documents>
<MenuChoice>Drawing</MenuChoice>
<Body>A drawing</Body>
<Cost>0</Cost>
</Documents>
<Documents>
<MenuChoice>Diagram</MenuChoice>
<Body>A diagram</Body>
<Cost>0</Cost>
</Documents>
<SystemSpecs>
<MenuChoice>spec1</MenuChoice>
<Body>spec1 body</Body>
<Cost>0</Cost>
</SystemSpecs>
<SystemSpecs>
<MenuChoice>spec2</MenuChoice>
<Body>spec2 body</Body>
<Cost>0</Cost>
</SystemSpecs>
</Configurations>
I've tried different things such as binding a DataGrid to the xml for instance.
Is there an easy way to load up a specific set of nodes like the <Documents> nodes, allow the user to edit them or add to them, then save it?

Here is a very quick demo application..
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wv67fv6y2vpe1do/ConfigEditor_Demo.rar
it will essentially read your settings from a file called xml.xml (included with the demo code) and display the data in a DataGrid where you can edit it. There is a save button that will save the changes you have made back to the xml.xml file.... as for adding nodes, The demo code will add new Documents\\SystemSpecs sections also ....
