Hi I am developing a web application using C# .net, can you give me some idea on how to store data from textbox to XML file in asp.net, like when user enters some data into the textbox's and click's on the submit button, all the data which the user entered into the textbox's should be stored in the XML file.

As simple as that - 5.
Try to bind XML file to your Textbox value for Saving Data.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("YourXMLFile"));
ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["NodeName"] =textbox1.Text; 
ds.AcceptChanges();
ds.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("YourXMLFile"));

Thanks Sachin.
You can persist (store and load to/from file/stream/string) data structure of any complexity without any special XML-related effort using Data Contract. You should better prefer it to any other serialization method due to its data-driven matter, lack of intrusive programming, good support of compatibility, support of world-unique schema and ease of use.

Please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733127.aspx[^].

See my past answer where I advocate this great approach:
How can I utilize XML File streamwriter and reader in my form application?[^],
Creating a property files...[^].

Try the following simple code :

public String s = Server.mappath( "\\Titles.xml");

XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(s, null);
               writer.WriteStartElement("menu");
               writer.WriteStartElement("buttons");
               writer.WriteStartElement("button");
               writer.WriteElementString("label", textBox1.Text);

               writer.WriteEndElement();
               writer.WriteEndElement();
               writer.WriteEndElement();
               writer.Close();


Where s is the name of your xml file that is you have.
