I want to save all the contents of an XML file to a string or string file. Please let me know how I can achieve this?

My function should copy or save the contents of the XML file. Completely in a string or stringbuilder.
This is external content (XML file). After that I need to change the contents (onf field) of the xml file. Can I get it through C #. tell me.

I have the following content in XML format, I want to put it on one line and pass it to another function in order to complete my Work.

Answer 1

 using System.Xml.Linq; // load the file var xDocument = XDocument.Load(@"C:\MyFile.xml"); // convert the xml into string (did not get why do you want to do this) string xml = xDocument.ToString(); 

Now, using xDocument , you can manipulate XML and save it back -

  xDocument.Save(@"C:\MyFile.xml"); 

Answer 2

Reading an XML file into a string is simple:

 string xml = File.ReadAllText(fileName); 

To access the content, you must read it in an XmlDocument:

 XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.LoadXml(xml); 

Answer 3

Why don't you read XML directly in XmlDocument

 XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.Load(xmlFilePath); 

When you need XML as a string, use the XmlNode.OuterXml property .
