Easily read and write XML using C#

Question

I have already found something for reading XML, however I find it difficult to write and update XML.

Can anybody please help in giving some code or advice on the best way of writing to XML files?

Answer 1

Use LINQ to XML .

Based on the fact you're using .NET 3.5 , LINQ to XML makes life so much easier when working with XML. Reading, writing, and amending XML documents via LINQ is a breeze. The link I posted is just a quick overview, but it should at least give you a taste of what it's like.

Answer 2

Load it up in an XmlDocument first. Also see the link for more information and examples.
