C# create read write XML file

Sample file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <property name="One">One</property>
  <values>
    <value name="Two">Two</value>
    <value name="Three">Three</value>
  </values>
</root>

Creating/Writing XML file

public void TestXMLWriter()
{
  string filePath = @"c:\temp\sample.xml";
  List<string> values = new List<string>();
  values.Add("Two");
  values.Add("Three");
  XmlWriterSettings xmlSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
  xmlSettings.Indent = true;
  xmlSettings.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
  using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(
    filePath,
    xmlSettings
    ))
  {
    writer.WriteStartDocument();
    writer.WriteStartElement("root");
    {
      writer.WriteStartElement("property");
      writer.WriteAttributeString("name", "One");
      writer.WriteString("One");
      writer.WriteEndElement();
      
      writer.WriteStartElement("values");
      {
        foreach (string value in values)
        {
          writer.WriteStartElement("value");
          writer.WriteAttributeString("name", value);                                    
          writer.WriteString(value);
          writer.WriteEndElement();
        }                            
      }
      writer.WriteEndElement();
    }    
    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.WriteEndDocument();
  }
}

Reading XML file

public void TestRead()
{
  string filePath = @"c:\temp\sample.xml";
  XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(filePath);
  XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
  XPathNodeIterator nodeIterator = nav.Select("/root");
  foreach (XPathNavigator node in nodeIterator)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Property Attribute: {0}",node.SelectSingleNode("property").Value);
    Console.WriteLine("Property Value: {0}",node.SelectSingleNode("property").GetAttribute("name",""));
    foreach (XPathNavigator subNode in node.Select("values/value"))
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Value Attribute: {0}", subNode.Value);
      Console.WriteLine("Value Value: {0}", subNode.GetAttribute("name", ""));
    }
  }            
}
