You could use XDocument   new XDocument      new XElement  root            new XElement  someNode    someValue                Save  foo xml      If the file you want to create is very big and cannot fit into memory you might use XmlWriter

I d recommend serialization    public class Person         public  string FirstName        public  string MI        public  string LastName     static void Serialize           clsPerson p   new Person          p FirstName    Jeff         p MI    A         p LastName    Price         System Xml Serialization XmlSerializer x   new System Xml Serialization XmlSerializer p GetType           x Serialize System Console Out  p         System Console WriteLine          System Console WriteLine   --- Press any key to continue ---           System Console ReadKey        You can further control serialization with attributes  But if it is simple  you could use XmlDocument   using System  using System Xml   public class GenerateXml       private static void Main             XmlDocument doc   new XmlDocument            XmlNode docNode   doc CreateXmlDeclaration  1 0    UTF-8   null           doc AppendChild docNode            XmlNode productsNode   doc CreateElement  products            doc AppendChild productsNode            XmlNode productNode   doc CreateElement  product            XmlAttribute productAttribute   doc CreateAttribute  id            productAttribute Value    01           productNode Attributes Append productAttribute           productsNode AppendChild productNode            XmlNode nameNode   doc CreateElement  Name            nameNode AppendChild doc CreateTextNode  Java             productNode AppendChild nameNode           XmlNode priceNode   doc CreateElement  Price            priceNode AppendChild doc CreateTextNode  Free             productNode AppendChild priceNode               Create and add another product node          productNode   doc CreateElement  product            productAttribute   doc CreateAttribute  id            productAttribute Value    02           productNode Attributes Append productAttribute           productsNode AppendChild productNode           nameNode   doc CreateElement  Name            nameNode AppendChild doc CreateTextNode  C              productNode AppendChild nameNode           priceNode   doc CreateElement  Price            priceNode AppendChild doc CreateTextNode  Free             productNode AppendChild priceNode            doc Save Console Out             And if it needs to be fast  use XmlWriter   public static void WriteXML            Create an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct options      System Xml XmlWriterSettings settings   new System Xml XmlWriterSettings        settings Indent   true      settings IndentChars                 t       settings OmitXmlDeclaration   false      settings Encoding   System Text Encoding UTF8       using  System Xml XmlWriter writer   System Xml XmlWriter Create  data xml   settings                  writer WriteStartDocument            writer WriteStartElement  books             for  int i   0  i  lt  100    i                        writer WriteStartElement  book                writer WriteElementString  item    Book     i 1  ToString                 writer WriteEndElement                       writer WriteEndElement             writer Flush            writer Close             End Using writer       And btw  the fastest way to read XML is XmlReader   public static void ReadXML         using  System Xml XmlReader xmlReader   System Xml XmlReader Create  http   www ecb int stats eurofxref eurofxref-daily xml                  while  xmlReader Read                          if   xmlReader NodeType    System Xml XmlNodeType Element   amp  amp   xmlReader Name     Cube                                  if  xmlReader HasAttributes                      System Console WriteLine xmlReader GetAttribute  currency            xmlReader GetAttribute  rate                                 Whend            End Using xmlReader      System Console ReadKey        And the most convenient way to read XML is to just deserialize the XML into a class   This also works for creating the serialization classes  btw  You can generate the class from XML with Xml2CSharp   https   xmltocsharp azurewebsites net
