Usage
This activity is used to create a single XML element below an existing element, as a nested activity within a CreateXMLScope activity. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host a sub activity that will be processed. The hosted activities are typically CreateXMLElement again, or CreateXMLAttribute activities, either as direct children or wrapped into other activities like ForEach or Sequence.
 | This activity provides the created XML element automatically to all XML sub activities, so the XML hierarchy will be built in the very way sub activities are nested! |
