Angel:
It's not very difficult as far as the 'writing' of it goes, it's very
simple. Check out the XMLWriter
class...http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpr
ef/html/frlrfSystemXmlXmlWriterClassTopic.asp
There are other ways to get data into XML too, depending on your app, you
can serialize your objects to XML with very little effort so that may be a
viable option too.
