use something like this: public static void Main() { XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(titles.xml null); //Write the root element writer.WriteStartElement(items); string[] subelemnets = foreach (string element in subelemnets) { string[] elemntsSplit = element.Split(''); //Write sub-elements writer.WriteElementString( elemntsSplit[0].replace(&)  elemntsSplit[1] ); } } // end the root element writer.WriteEndElement(); //Write the XML to file and close the writer writer.Close(); }
