Hello,

you'll need several code lines to achieve.

for the Dialogbox to save a file : see at 'commondialog' 'filedialog' .

for the xml to write in a file : you require 'xmlWriter / xmlReader' resources with 'filestream'

in your VS, press F1 on selected keywords to reach the microsoft resources online.

Getting the filename to save to can be done using the SaveFileDialog[^].
