Hi Ankit,You can use this code:\

```
using System;using System.Data;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.Xml; namespace WindowsApplication1{    public partial class Form1 : Form    {        public Form1()        {            InitializeComponent();        }         private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("product.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);            writer.WriteStartDocument(true);            writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;            writer.Indentation = 2;            writer.WriteStartElement("Table");            createNode("1", "Product 1", "1000", writer);            createNode("2", "Product 2", "2000", writer);            createNode("3", "Product 3", "3000", writer);            createNode("4", "Product 4", "4000", writer);            writer.WriteEndElement();            writer.WriteEndDocument();            writer.Close();            MessageBox.Show("XML File created ! ");        }         private void createNode(string pID, string pName, string pPrice, XmlTextWriter writer)        {            writer.WriteStartElement("Product");            writer.WriteStartElement("Product_id");            writer.WriteString(pID);            writer.WriteEndElement();            writer.WriteStartElement("Product_name");            writer.WriteString(pName);            writer.WriteEndElement();            writer.WriteStartElement("Product_price");            writer.WriteString(pPrice);            writer.WriteEndElement();            writer.WriteEndElement();        }    }}
