XML File Generation And Data Writing Using C#.Net In Asp.Net MVC

This article will show you how you can perform xml file generation and data writing using c#.net in asp.net mvc.

Some of my previous articles are as follows: How To Read XML File In DataSet And Display in DataGridview Using C#.Net, Read XML File in DataTable and Bind to DataList In Asp.Net Using C#.Net, How To Read XML File in DataTable Using C#.Net In Asp.Net MVC, Bind XML File Data to Gridview By Category and SubCategory in Asp.Net MVC Using C#.Net, Read XML File Data Using Linq Query and Add in DataTable to Bind GridView in Asp.net Using C#.Net.

So for this article first we will create a new asp.net mvc application and add a folder in which we will we will add the xml file.

Now we will add the model class file.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; namespace XMLReadeinMVC.Models {     public class StudentModel     {         public int Id { get; set; }         public string Name { get; set; }         public string Address { get; set; }     } }

After creating model class file we will add the controller class file.

using System.Web.Mvc; using System.Data; using System.Xml; using System.Collections.Generic; using XMLReadeinMVC.Models; namespace XMLReadeinMVC.Controllers {     public class HomeController : Controller     {         //         // GET: /Home/         public ActionResult Index()         {             List<StudentModel> objStudentModel = new List<StudentModel>();             string xmlFilePath = @"XMLFile\StudentsXML.xml";             objStudentModel = GetStudentData();             CreateXMLFile(xmlFilePath, objStudentModel);             ViewBag.Message = "XML file created successfully.";             return View();         }         /// <summary>         /// Method to create xml file         /// </summary>         /// <param name="xmlFilePath"></param>         public void CreateXMLFile(string xmlFilePath, List<StudentModel> objStudentModel)         {             using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(Server.MapPath(xmlFilePath)))             {                 writer.WriteStartDocument();                 writer.WriteStartElement("Students");                 foreach (StudentModel item in objStudentModel)                 {                     writer.WriteStartElement("Student");                     writer.WriteElementString("id", item.Id.ToString());                     writer.WriteElementString("name", item.Name);                     writer.WriteElementString("address", item.Address);                     writer.WriteEndElement();                 }                 writer.WriteEndElement();                 writer.WriteEndDocument();             }         }         /// <summary>         /// Method to generate xml data         /// you can fatch data dynamically and pass it to collection         /// </summary>         /// <returns></returns>         public List<StudentModel> GetStudentData()         {             List<StudentModel> objStudentModel = new List<StudentModel>();             objStudentModel.Add(new StudentModel { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1", Address = "Address 1" });             objStudentModel.Add(new StudentModel { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2", Address = "Address 2" });             objStudentModel.Add(new StudentModel { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3", Address = "Address 3" });             objStudentModel.Add(new StudentModel { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4", Address = "Address 4" });             return objStudentModel;         }     } }

In above code I have create a function to provide the data. XmlWriter to write and create the xml file. After this we will create the view.

@{     ViewBag.Title = "XML File Generation And Data Writing Using C#.Net In Asp.Net MVC"; } <h2>     @ViewBag.Message </h2>

Now we have done run  the application to check the output.

Here is the final output.
