Initialize your XmlWriter with an XmlWriterSettings, and set XmlWriterSettings.OmitXmlDeclaration to true:

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings { OmitXmlDeclaration = true };
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(textWriter, settings))
{
    // serialize XML here
}

To omit XML declaration and default XML namespaces:

var settings = new XmlWriterSettings { OmitXmlDeclaration = true, Indent = true };

var namespaces = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
namespaces.Add(string.Empty, string.Empty);

using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(file, settings))
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(source.GetType());
    serializer.Serialize(writer, source, namespaces);
}
