create xml file, basics

I want to create xml document with following structure 

<ServerFp Command="Cashed">
    <Cashed Value="199.99"/>
</ServerFp>

So I tried like this :

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings() { Indent = true };
            using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(filename, settings))
            {
                writer.WriteStartDocument();
                writer.WriteStartElement("ServerFp");
                writer.WriteAttributeString("Command", "Cashed");

            }

Is this good so far and how to end this file? with node <Cashed Value="199.99"/>

Try this LINQ To XML

 XElement result = new XElement("ServerFp", new XAttribute("Command", "Cashed"),
                   new XElement("Cashed", new XAttribute("Value", "199.99"))
                   );

Output

<ServerFp Command="Cashed">
  <Cashed Value="199.99" />
</ServerFp>

why not just LINQ to XML?

XElement ServerFp = new XElement("ServerFp",
    new XAttribute("Command", "Cached"),
    new XElement("CachedValue", "199.99")
);
Console.WriteLine(ServerFp.ToString());

outputting

<ServerFp Command="Cached">
  <CachedValue>199.99</CachedValue>
</ServerFp>

this is how you can do it by using XmlWriter

writer.WriteStartDocument();
writer.WriteStartElement("ServerFp");
writer.WriteAttributeString("Command", "Cashed");
writer.WriteStartElement("Cashed");
writer.WriteAttributeString("Value", "199.99");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteEndElement();

Or you can do the same using XDocument 

XDocument doc = new XDocument(new XElement("ServerFp", new XAttribute("Command", "Cashed"), 
    new XElement("Cashed", new XAttribute("Value", "199.99"))));

doc.Save(filePath);

Try this (I am not sure but you can get an idea)

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings() { Indent = true };
using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(filename, settings))
{
     writer.WriteStartDocument();
     writer.WriteStartElement("ServerFp");
     writer.WriteAttributeString("Command", "Cashed");

     writer.WriteEndElement(); // I think this will close your <Cashed Value="199.99"/>
     writer.WriteEndElement(); // I think this will close your 
}

I would try doing it like this:

create a new XmlDocument:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

create your nodes you want to insert

XmlNode node1 = doc.CreateElement("node1")

append your element

doc.AppendChild(node1 );

save the document

doc.Save("result.xml");
