   XmlElement^ elem = doc->CreateElement( "item" );
   elem->InnerText = "widget";
   docFrag->AppendChild( elem );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the document fragment..." );
   Console::WriteLine( docFrag->OuterXml );
}

    // Add nodes to the document fragment. Notice that the
    // new element is created using the owner document of

        ' new element is created using the owner document of 
        ' the document fragment.
        Dim elem As XmlElement = doc.CreateElement("item")
        elem.InnerText = "widget"
        docFrag.AppendChild(elem)
        
        Console.WriteLine("Display the document fragment...")
        Console.WriteLine(docFrag.OuterXml)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

When adding nodes to the current node, use the XmlDocument returned by the OwnerDocument property to create the node.
