I've been trying to figure this out for a week without luck.

My program needs to examine two XML docs for missing contacts, when it finds a missing contact it then needs to merge the information across.

I've got the examination part working with this code:

Private Sub findAllDisplayNameMaster(ByVal ndoc As XElement)

        Dim displayName = From c In ndoc...<display-name> Select c.Value
        Dim cDoc = XElement.Load(contactsXML)
        For Each N In displayName
            addToListViewMaster(N)
            contactCompare(cDoc, N)
        Next

    End Sub

    Public Sub contactCompare(ByVal cDoc As XElement, ByVal nameC As String)
        Dim displayName = From c In cDoc...<display-name> Select c.Value

        For Each N In displayName
            If N = nameC Then
                Exit Sub
            End If
        Next
        missingCount = missingCount + 1
    End Sub

What I need to do now if pass the display-name value to a sub which gathers the entire entry block and adds to the second XML doc. I also need to make sure the category's match but think I can figure that out :)

This is the XML doc:
