you can use the System.Xml.XmlTextWriter to write into an xml file and use the XmlTextReader to read from an xml file too here is an example of how to use the XmlTextWriter Dim Writer As System.Xml.XmlTextWriter = New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(C:\File.xml New System.Text.UTF8Encoding()) Writer.WriteStartElement(x root urn:1) Writer.WriteStartElement(x item urn:1) Writer.WriteEndElement() Writer.WriteEndElement() Writer.Close() MsgBox(Done) you can use simply the XmlDocument as follow Dim doc As System.Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument() doc.LoadXml(( text textg 99999 ) doc.Save(C:\FileName.xml) use Load method to charge a given xml file into the xml document if you want to obtain a given xml file content
