how 2 generate xml file

[Blair Chen]

Pls help me out
I am trying to generate xml file via XmlDocument class. I ceated a
XmlDocument instance, how can I convert it to a physical xml file(e.g.
test.xml)?
following is the code:
//add root
XmlElement rootNode = xmlDoc.CreateEl ement("root");
rootNode.SetAtt ribute("root", root);
xmlDoc.AppendCh ild(rootNode);

// Add node1
XmlElement sitNode = xmlDoc.CreateEl ement("node1");
node1.SetAttrib ute("node1", "node1");
xmlDoc.Document Element.AppendC hild(node1);

Seems it will need some I/O related API. But I cannot find it.
I am new to C#, pls don't angry with my simple question.

thanks
Blair

xmlDoc.Save("fi le.xml")
is one way, the Save method has several overloads to save to a stream or
a TextWriter or an XmlWriter.
There are also a further method
xmlDoc.WriteTo( xmlWriter)

Oh, and a little known and unmentioned over-ride I have available in
datatables is writeXml("FileP athandName") where you don't need a previously
opened stream or anything like that, just write the file. Same for readXML.
