Manually building an XmlDocument

[CodeRazor]

Hello,
Simple question this one.

How can I manually build a simple xmldocument in code.
Lets say for example

<Products>
<Boat id="1">
<Price>9000</Price>
</Boat>
</Products>

thank you very much.

Hi,

You need to use System.XML namespace for that. Here is a small example of
creating an XML document through C#:
using System;
using System.Xml;

namespace Test
{
class MainClass
{
XmlDocument xmldoc;
XmlNode xmlnode;
XmlElement xmlelem;
XmlElement xmlelem2;
XmlText xmltext;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MainClass app=new MainClass();
}
public MainClass() //constructor
{
xmldoc=new XmlDocument();
//let's add the XML declaration section
xmlnode=xmldoc. CreateNode(XmlN odeType.XmlDecl aration,"","");
xmldoc.AppendCh ild(xmlnode);
//let's add the root element
xmlelem=xmldoc. CreateElement(" ","ROOT","" );
xmltext=xmldoc. CreateTextNode( "This is the text of the root element");
xmlelem.AppendC hild(xmltext);
xmldoc.AppendCh ild(xmlelem);
//let's add another element (child of the root)
xmlelem2=xmldoc .CreateElement( "","SampleEleme nt","");
xmltext=xmldoc. CreateTextNode( "The text of the sample element");
xmlelem2.Append Child(xmltext);
xmldoc.ChildNod es.Item(1).Appe ndChild(xmlelem 2);
//let's try to save the XML document in a file: C:\pavel.xml
try
{
xmldoc.Save("c: \mydoc.xml");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(e.Message);
}
Console.ReadLin e();
}
}
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks

if you are just interested in the xml *text* (at first), you can use this:

----------------------
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb );
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(s w);
xw.Formatting = Formatting.Inde nted; // optional

xw.WriteStartEl ement("Products ");
xw.WriteStartEl ement("Boat");
xw.WriteAttribu teString("id", "1");
xw.WriteElement String("Price", "9000");
xw.WriteEndElem ent();
xw.WriteEndElem ent();

Console.WriteLi ne(sb.ToString( )); // or any other way to "use" the xml-text
----------------------
