A functional approach to XML document creation

To create an entire XML document in memory (with comments, processing instructions, open-

ing declarations, etc.), you can load the object tree into the constructor of an XDocument type.

Consider the following CreateFunctionalXmlDoc() method, which first creates an in-memory docu-

ment and then saves it to a local file:

static void CreateFunctionalXmlDoc()

{

XDocument inventoryDoc =

new XDocument(

new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),

new XComment("Current Inventory of AutoLot"),

new XElement("Inventory",

new XElement("Car", new XAttribute("ID", "1"),

new XElement("Color", "Green"),

new XElement("Make", "BMW"),

new XElement("PetName", "Stan")

),

new XElement("Car", new XAttribute("ID", "2"),

new XElement("Color", "Pink"),

new XElement("Make", "Yugo"),

new XElement("PetName", "Melvin")

)

)

);
