Solution 1

if you populated list view via datatable then you just need to call DataTable.WriteXML method (Don't forget to Set DataTable.Name once),

if it is via other way like List<string> or Items.add then you have to manually implement serializer class for achieve this

XML

XElement xeRoot = new XElement("Data");
           XElement xeSubRoot = new XElement("Rows");
           foreach (var items in listView1.Items)
           {

               XDocument document = new XDocument(new XElement("Data", from item in listView1.Items.Cast<ListViewItem>()
                                                                       select new XElement("Proc", item.SubItems.Cast<System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem>().Select((subitem, i) => new XElement(
                                                                           i == 0 ? "PName":listView1.Columns[i].Text.ToLower(), subitem.Text)))));
               document.Save("sample.xml");
           }
