How to write a string into a xml file on c#?

Question

I've created a xml file using c#.

XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("Product.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
writer.WriteStartDocument(true);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.Indentation = 2;

Then, I create my string:

string stringXML = string.Empty;
stringXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?><configurations xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"configurations.xsd\"><ProductsList><Product><ID>1</ID><Description>EPR</Description></Product></ProductsList></configurations>";

Then I want to write my stringXML into Product.xml file.

I've tried :

System.IO.File.WriteAllText("Product.xml", stringXML);

but it doesn't worked...

How can I do this?

Try it as

string s = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?><configurations xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"configurations.xsd\"><ProductsList><Product><ID>1</ID><Description>EPR</Description></Product></ProductsList></configurations>";
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(s);
xdoc.Save("Product.xml");

Update

string name = saveFileDialog1.FileName;
string s = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?><configurations xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"configurations.xsd\"><ProductsList><Product><ID>1</ID><Description>EPR</Description></Product></ProductsList></configurations>";
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(s);
xdoc.Save(name);

Since saveFileDialog1 is your SaveFileDialog

Why you are using SaveFileDialog??just give the correct path in xdoc.Save and it will save file on that location..

The user must choose the path that they want, so i need to user saveFiledialog.
