XmlReplaceNode Function

Action

XmlReplaceNode replaces the node passed in parameter hDestNode with the node in parameter hSourceNode. The source node must not be a child of another node - you would have to remove the node first from its current parent. The replaced node can afterwards be used to append to another node.

XmlReplaceNode simply does the following things: Removes hDestNode from the parent and appends hSourceNode to the former parent of hDestNode.
