It depends what you are actually trying to achieve, for example if you want to store an object as a text file you can use serialization, google for C# XML Serialization and you'll get lots of examples..

Solution 1

printf("%s", "1.xml");

If you mean writing the contents then there are various helper libraries around to do it for you.

Solution 2

Easiest way would be using File.WriteAllText:

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143375.aspx[^]

Example:

C#

string xml = @"<items>
  <item id="test"/>
  </item>
</items>";

File.WriteAllText(@"d:\files\1.xml", xml);
