Don't know about C# (not hand time or necessity for it) but in C/C++, the basic method is just to generate a text file:

   /* This is C */
   #include <stdio.h>
   void writeStrings(char** aList) {
      FILE* hfOut = fopen(&quot;myfile.xml&quot;, &quot;wt&quot;);
      if (hfOut != NULL) {
         fprintf(hfOut, &quot;<?xml version=\&quot;1.0\&quot;?>\n&quot;);
         fprintf(hfOut, &quot;<MyData>\n&quot;);
         while (*aList != NULL) {
            fprintf(hfOut, &quot;<Data>%s</Data>\n&quot;, *aList);
            ++aList;
         }
         fprintf(hfOut, &quot;</MyData>\n&quot;);
         fclose(hfOut);
      }
      return;
   }
   // Then call it with:
   static char* apszData[] {
         &quot;Data One&quot;
      ,  &quot;Data Value Two&quot;
      ,  &quot;More data value (3)&quot;
      ,  NULL
   };
   writeString(apszData);

Lots of other things though: e.g., you need to make sure that '<', '>' and '&' in the data are encoded properly (as &gt;, &lt;, *amp;, etc.).

Hope this helps.
