It really depends on your implementation. How are you doing the other way (reading an XML file) ? Did you generate C++ classes based on your xsd file ? If yes, you simply have to populate them and serialize them.
The xsd is normally used for validation and/or code generation.

Cedric you gt my question?

Yes, but as you didn't reply mine, I can't really give an appropriate one. Can you please describe precisely the situation that you have ? Why is the XSD important in your case? Because it looks like it's not used...

I am doing a windows based application .In that i need to store some settings in XML Format .The settings value must be obtained from User Interface..Settings can be imported and exported for each type of users..So without creating an xml each time dynamically i want to create a template like structure for the settings field and just fill up the tag value from User Interface....

Is your xml format always the same or should your application dynamically adapt to different xsd files ?
In case you have one format, did you consider generating code based on the xsd ? If you are developping an open source software, you can have a look at codesynthesis (http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/xsd/). They also have commercial licences.
On the other hand, you can also consider a lightweight XML parser like TinyXML (http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml/) but in that case there's no databinding involved.
