XML file creation using XDocument in C#

Question

I have a List \"sampleList\" which contains

Data1
Data2
Data3...

The file structure is like

<         


        

Answer 1

Using the .Save method means that the output will have a BOM, which not all applications will be happy with. If you do not want a BOM, and if you are not sure then I suggest that you don't, then pass the XDocument through a writer:

using (var writer = new XmlTextWriter(".\\your.xml", new UTF8Encoding(false)))
{
    doc.Save(writer);
}
