Question

I know that there is a way to save data in an xml file with classes and their properties using XML Serialization.But Is there any way to save data without using classes and XML Serialization???

Answer 1

Absolutely – I would recommend LINQ to XML. For example:

XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    new XElement("root",
        new XElement("child1", "text"),
        new XElement("child2",
            new XElement("grandchild"))));
doc.Save("test.xml");

Obviously any of these literals can be supplied from your object data – and LINQ to XML makes it easy to create XML from sequences, LINQ queries etc.

Resulting test.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <child1>text</child1>
  <child2>
    <grandchild />
  </child2>
</root>

LINQ to XML is a lovely API – much nicer than the old XmlDocument one, IMO.
