If this is valid XML you could use the SaveOptions.DisableFormatting enumeration:

string input = @"<TestItem1Request>
  <Username>admin</Username>
  <Password>123abc..@!</Password>
  <Item1>this is an item</Item1>
</TestItem1Request>";

string result = XElement.Parse(input).ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
Console.WriteLine(result);
