Question

I want to convert a string to XML. Of course I can do something like:

"<node Attribute1="att1">" + MyString + "</node>"

But why reinvent the wheel if there’s something in .net for it. Is there a method that takes a node-name, attributes, and inner XML and returns an XML string?

Answer 1

You can use Linq To Xml

var xElem = new XElement("node", new XAttribute("Attribute1", "att1"), "MyString");
var xml = xElem.ToString();

would give you

<node Attribute1="att1">MyString</node>
