How to Generate an XML Document Rogrammatically Using DOM: Part I

In fact, I wrote this article as an answer of one among questions posted as a part of a C sharp corner forum. I will enumerate methods of how to do that through three articles, the first one illustrates how to do that using DOM technology, the second step, I'll do the same think using SAX technology and finally I will use some classes provided by the .Net framework to achieve the same task.

First way as said, using DOM technology witch is the "Document Object Model" abbreviation witch is largely adopted by several platforms across the development environments. It consists on an in memory XML document representation that not only allows xml generation, but allows several tasks such as manipulation, reading and modification of a given xml document. I illustrate how to use DOM by this walkthrough called Walkthrough1:

Walkthrough 1:

Create a new console application project then add this code within the scope of the main method:

//Create a new xmlDataDocument

XmlDataDocument myDoc = new XmlDataDocument();

//The familie

XmlElement Familie = myDoc.CreateElement("Familie");

//The elements wrapper

XmlElement wrapper = myDoc.CreateElement("xml");

//Create attributes

XmlAttribute version = myDoc.CreateAttribute("version");

XmlAttribute encoding = myDoc.CreateAttribute("encoding");

//Add values to attributes

version.Value = "1.0";

encoding.Value = "utf-8";

//Append attributes to their correspondent element

wrapper.Attributes.Append(version);

wrapper.Attributes.Append(encoding);

//The Father

XmlElement Father = myDoc.CreateElement("Father");

//Create attributes

XmlAttribute FatherName = myDoc.CreateAttribute("Name");

XmlAttribute FatherAge = myDoc.CreateAttribute("Age");

//Add values to attributes

FatherName.Value = "My father";

FatherAge.Value = "65";

//Append attributes to their correspondent element

Father.Attributes.Append(FatherName);

Father.Attributes.Append(FatherAge);

//Add the element to the Familie node

Familie.AppendChild(Father);

//The mother

XmlElement Mother = myDoc.CreateElement("Mother");

//Create attributes

XmlAttribute MotherName = myDoc.CreateAttribute("Name");
