Appending an existing XML file with XmlWriter

by

you can use Linq Xml

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(xmlFilePath);
XElement school = doc.Element("School");
school.Add(new XElement("Student",
           new XElement("FirstName", "David"),
           new XElement("LastName", "Smith")));
doc.Save(xmlFilePath);

Edit

if you want to add Element to Existing <Student>, just add an Attribute before 

school.add(new XElement("Student",
           new XAttribute("ID", "ID_Value"),
           new XElement("FirstName", "David"),
           new XElement("LastName", "Smith")));

Then you can add further Details to the Existing <Student> by search -> get -> add

XElement particularStudent = doc.Element("School").Elements("Student")
                                .Where(student => student.Attribute("ID").Value == "SearchID")
                                .FirstOrDefault();
if(particularStudent != null)
    particularStudent.Add(new XElement("<NewElementName>","<Value>");
