What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck?

Adersh Ram 2-Oct-12 7:40am

Creating the fist name spaces (second and third line )

If they are known and fixed. Hard code it before forming the body of XML.

Adersh Ram 2-Oct-12 7:51am

sometimes it will change some condition, so it cannot hard code that....
Is there any way to do that

Sandeep Mewara 2-Oct-12 7:54am

Then based on condition hardcode it. I don't think there is any other way.

ok, thanks for your quick reply.

Could be done via serialization. Anyway, I provided a short overview of nearly all approaches available in .NET, please see my answer.

This is my short overview of what you already have from .NET:

Use System.Xml.XmlDocument class. It implements DOM interface; this way is the easiest and good enough if the size if the document is not too big.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^].
Use the classes System.Xml.XmlTextWriter and System.Xml.XmlTextReader; this is the fastest way of reading, especially is you need to skip some data.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlwriter.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader.aspx[^].
Use the class System.Xml.Linq.XDocument; this is the most adequate way similar to that of XmlDocument, supporting LINQ to XML Programming.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387063.aspx[^].

Also, I'm not sure that you really need to write/read XML directly. Chances are, you need to use Serialization:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization#.NET_Framework[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ay27kt9%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233843.aspx[^].

Nearly the most comprehensive and easy-to-use method of serialization is the one based on Data Contract:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733127.aspx[^].

Please also see my past answers where I advocate this approach:
How can I utilize XML File streamwriter and reader in my form application?[^],
Creating property files...[^].

Good luck,
