I am having a problem with KMLSharp. I want to add a new placemark to my kml file using SharpKML.
This is the code I am using.
// Create our Kml
TextReader reader = File.OpenText(Server.MapPath(@"~\kml\fountains\test1.kml"));
KmlFile file = KmlFile.Load(reader);
reader.Close();
Kml kml = file.Root as Kml;
//This is the Element we are going to save to the Kml file.
Point point = new Point();
point.Coordinate = new Vector(double.Parse(latitude), double.Parse(longitude));
var placemark = new Placemark();
placemark.Geometry = point;
placemark.Id = "7";
var document = new Document();
document.AddFeature(placemark);
var update = new Update();
update.AddUpdate(new CreateCollection() { document });
CreateCollection c = new CreateCollection();
var serializer = new Serializer();
serializer.Serialize(update);
Console.WriteLine("\nUpdate:\n" + serializer.Xml);
// Run the update
file = KmlFile.Create(kml, false);
update.Process(file);
serializer.Serialize(kml);
Console.WriteLine("\nUpdated Kml:\n" + serializer.Xml);
using (FileStream stream =
**strong text** File.OpenWrite(Server.MapPath(@"~\kml\fountains\test1.kml")))
{
file.Save(stream);
}
This is my KML File Structure:

I think it might have something to do with the container I am placing the placemarker in since I can't just add the placemarker without a container :/
