  If you want to create an XML document then you can use XmlWriter e.g.

  XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
  writerSettings.Indent = true;
  string fileName = @"file.xml";
  using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(fileName, writerSettings)) {
  writer.WriteStartDocument();
  writer.WriteStartElement("gods");
  writer.WriteElementString("god", "Kibo");
  writer.WriteElementString("god", "Xibo");
  writer.WriteEndElement();
  writer.WriteEndDocument();
  writer.Close();
  }

  creates e.g.

  < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
  <gods>
  <god>Kibo</god>
  <god>Xibo</god>
  </gods>

  Once you have an XML file and you want to further manipulate it you can use XmlDocument to load the XML document into a DOM tree, manipulate the tree and save the tree back e.g.

  XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
  xmlDocument.Load(fileName);
  XmlElement god = xmlDocument.CreateElement("god");
  god.InnerText = "Jaffo";
  xmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(god);
  xmlDocument.Save(fileName);
