Convert CSV in datagridview to XML

See more:

C#

Hey guys,

In my current project I can open and display a CSV file in a datagridview with the option to edit and save the file.
I am trying to create a button in the GUI that will convert the displayed CSV file into XML format with also the option to save it in the desired format.

Im super new to this and im not really sure were to start, so any help hints or feedback would be much appreciated.
