Solution 2

C#

XmlDocument XD = new XmlDocument();
XmlNode Root = XD.AppendChild(XD.CreateElement("Root"));
XmlNode Child = Root.AppendChild(XD.CreateElement("Child"));
XmlAttribute ChildAtt =Child.Attributes.Append(XD.CreateAttribute("Attribute"));
ChildAtt.InnerText = "My innertext";
Child.InnerText = "Node Innertext";
XD.Save("Add.xml");

I think this is the easiest approach.
I havent tested this code so it might contain minor errors.

add.xml is created at run time or we have to create xml file using add item

Per Söderlund 24-Aug-11 6:23am

add.xml is created during runtime.
It will also be overwritten everytime you run this code.

ajitmlv 14-Feb-13 3:57am

its not showing ny error but m nt able to find where the newly created xml file stored???

Per Söderlund 15-Feb-13 15:46pm

XD.Save("C:/Dir/File.xml");
Saves the file in C:/Dir directory.
When only file name is given it should be saved in the same directory as the running exe that is creating the file.
If I remember it right.

how to add child element

Solution 7

Hi
Here is a sample code that you can use to create XML Document:

Code Snippet
XmlDocument xmlDoc;

XmlNode xmlDeclaration;

XmlElement xmlRoot;

XmlElement xmlElem;

xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

// Declaration

xmlDeclaration = xmlDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration, "", "");

xmlDoc.AppendChild(xmlDeclaration);

// Root element

xmlRoot = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Root");

xmlDoc.AppendChild(xmlRoot);

// Child of the root

xmlElem = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Element");

xmlRoot.AppendChild(xmlElem);

MessageBox.Show(xmlDoc.OuterXml);

And here you can find some samples:
