Hello all,
I am trying to create and xml with the help of c# object.
right now i am having one order object and with the help of XslCompiledTransform i want to create a xml file by applying xsl on it.
But XslCompiledTransform take the parameter as string input uri or xml reader

so my question is can i create the xmlreader object by passing my orderObject so that i can further use the xmlreader for creating the xml file by passing it to XslCompiledTransform.
My Order object

C#

public class OrderObject
{
    public string OrderName { get; set; }
    public string Price { get; set; }
}

and on button click i am doing some thing like

C#

XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings(); //Object of XmlWriterSettings to generate the xml output.
        writerSettings.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
        XsltArgumentList xsltArgumentList = new XsltArgumentList();
        XmlWriter writer = null;

        try
        {
            writer = XmlWriter.Create(_outputPath, writerSettings); //Start Creating the xml document
            #if DEBUG
            XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform(true);
            #else
            XslCompiledTransform transform = new XslCompiledTransform();
            #endif

            XsltSettings xsltSettings = new XsltSettings(); //Create object of XsltSettings and set its EnableScript = true
            xsltSettings.EnableScript = true;

            transform.Load(_xslFilePath, xsltSettings, new XmlUrlResolver()); //Load master.xml with xsltSettings

            List<OrderObject> newOrderData = OrderData.NewOrder;

            XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(); //????
            transform.Transform(xmlReader, xsltArgumentList, writer); //Apply xsl and output xml 

            writer.Flush(); //flush the writer buffer

            writer.Close(); //close the writer
            lblMessage.Text = "XML Output file is generated successfully Path:" + _outputPath;
        } //try
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            writer.Close(); //if error occur then close the writer
            lblMessage.Text = "Error occurred while generating the xml!" + ex.Message;
        } //catch

At the below line in code i m getting stuck-up

C#

 List<OrderObject> newOrderData = OrderData.NewOrder;
XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(); //????</pre>

Is there any way that i can use the orderobjectlist for creating the xml
or Is there any other way i can work through the order object

Thanks in advance

Solved:
the below method ObjectToXml take the obj and filename as the parameters and with the help of XmlSerializer it create the xml file on the given path

C#

namespace Utility
{
    public class Serial
    {
        public static void ObjectToXml(object obj, string path_to_xml)
        {
            //serialize and persist it to it's file
            try
            {
                if(File.Exists(path_to_xml))
                    File.Delete(path_to_xml);
                XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(obj.GetType(),new XmlRootAttribute("document"));
                FileStream fs = File.Open(
                        path_to_xml,            // File Path
                        FileMode.OpenOrCreate,  // File Mode
                        FileAccess.Write,       // File Access
                        FileShare.ReadWrite);   // File Share 
                ser.Serialize(fs, obj);
                fs.Close();     // Close the file
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new Exception("Could Not Serialize the object to " + path_to_xml, ex);
            }
 
        }
    }
}
