New XML document with Key / Value pairs

I am fairly new to programing and I want to create a new key value pair document via xml to send to a web service 

<BuildAddOns>
    <UserInput Question="foo" Answer="blahh" Type="String" />
    <UserInput Question="foo" Answer="blahh" Type="String" />
</BuildAddOns>
Solution

  • You can use XDocument to read/write a xml file. Here is the code:

    XElement root = new XElement("BuildAddOns");

XDocument doc = new XDocument(root);


XElement element1 = new XElement("UserInput");
element1.SetAttributeValue("Question", "foo");
element1.SetAttributeValue("Answer", "blahh");
element1.SetAttributeValue("Type", "String");

doc.Root.Add(element1);

XElement element2 = new XElement("UserInput");
element2.SetAttributeValue("Question", "foo");
element2.SetAttributeValue("Answer", "blahh");
element2.SetAttributeValue("Type", "String");

doc.Root.Add(element2);

doc.Save(@"C:\New Text Document.txt");
