Save XML file at custom location

I'm a very beginner with c#.

I write a little XML converter. In the debug mode saves my xml files under bin/debug. I use:

XmlWriter xw = XmlWriter.Create("Filename.xml")

When I compile the code and run it, the xml are not saved. What can I do to ensure that the xml is stored at a particular path? The save Location path comes from a form as a string

You just need to combine the path and the xml file name, then use XmlWriter to write xml element:

string pathName = Path.Combine(location, "Filename.xml"); // location is the string from your form.
using (var xw = XmlWriter.Create(pathName))
{
    xw.WriteStartElement("myxml");
}

XmlWriter creates a new XmlWriter instance using the filename and XmlWriterSettings object. (Not saving the file!)

When you have the xml you can save it using System.IO:

File.WriteAllText(saveLocationPath, yourXML);
