Hi friends, 

Today I am going tell you that how can we insert data/record in xml file using c# code in .net. I will be explaining all these step one by one. You can also download source code from there download.

Step 1- Create new project to your visual studio and give name of this project is xmlinsertdata.

Step 2- Add new page  xml.aspx in your project and added some textbox field to this page.

Step 3-On buttonclick vent write this code.

protected void cmdsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        XmlTextWriter xWriter = new XmlTextWriter(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/" + "EmployeeDetails.xml"), Encoding.UTF8);

        xWriter.WriteStartDocument();

        xWriter.WriteStartElement("EmployeeDetails");

       

            xWriter.WriteStartElement("Details");

            xWriter.WriteAttributeString("Name", txtname.Text.Trim().ToString());

            xWriter.WriteElementString("Qualification", txtqual.Text.Trim().ToString());

            xWriter.WriteElementString("Address", txtadd.Text.Trim().ToString());

            xWriter.WriteElementString("Description", txtdesc.Text.Trim().ToString());

  

             xWriter.WriteEndElement();

      

        xWriter.WriteEndElement();

        xWriter.WriteEndDocument();

        //End writing top element and XML document

        xWriter.Close();

    }

Use System.Xml; namespace for  XmlTextWriter  class.and System.Text name space for Encoding  class.
