Can I append one dom to another?

Did you try it? Are you having a specific problem? Here's an example that
merges data from two existing XML files into a new document using the .NET
XmlDocument's ImportNode(node) method. The first parameter is the node you
want to import, the second is whether the import should be a "deep" copy
(children and all) or a shallow copy (just the target node). The example
code below is in VB.NET.

Dim doc1 As New XmlDocument()
Dim doc2 As New XmlDocument()
Dim doc3 As New XmlDocument()
Dim N As XmlNode
Dim NParent As XmlNode
doc1.Load("some xml file here")
doc2.Load("some xml file here")
' create a new XML document to contain the merged documents
doc3.LoadXml("<?xml version=""1.0""?><all/>")

' import the first document and append it to the <all> element in doc3
N = doc3.ImportNode(doc1.DocumentElement, True)
doc3.DocumentElement.AppendChild(N)

' import the second document and append it to the <all> element in
doc3
N = doc3.ImportNode(doc2.DocumentElement, True)
doc3.DocumentElement.AppendChild(N)

' save the results
doc3.Save("some xml filename here")

You can create such merged documents using XSLT as well. Search Google for
"merging xml documents" and you'll get a number of useful articles.
