You can write any text you like to a file with an .xml extension (though not with XmlTextWriter).

However, if you try to load this file into an XmlDocument:

1453

you'll get the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.Xml.XmlException: The 'SALES_INVOICES' start tag on
line 2 position 2 does not match the end tag of 'INVOICES'. Line 4, position 3.
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String[] args)

That's not possible.

The tags must match otherwise the XML document would be malformed.

If you change the code to this:

XmlTextWriter xmlDocument = new XmlTextWriter(@"d:\Deneme.xml", System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-9"));
xmlDocument.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xmlDocument.Indentation = 5;
try
{
xmlDocument.WriteStartDocument();
xmlDocument.WriteStartElement("INVOICES");
xmlDocument.WriteStartElement("SALES_INVOICES");
xmlDocument.WriteElementString("TYPE", textBox1.Text);
xmlDocument.WriteEndElement();
xmlDocument.WriteEndElement();
xmlDocument.Close();
MessageBox.Show("Xml Created.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hata" + ex.Message);
}

then the output should now be:

1453

My code is ;

XmlTextWriter xmlDocument = new XmlTextWriter(@"d:\Deneme.xml", System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-9"));
xmlDocument.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xmlDocument.Indentation = 5;
try
{
xmlDocument.WriteStartDocument();
xmlDocument.WriteStartElement("SALES_INVOICES");
xmlDocument.WriteElementString("TYPE", textBox1.Text);
xmlDocument.WriteEndElement();
xmlDocument.Close();
MessageBox.Show("Xml Created.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hata" + ex.Message);
}
}

And Result is

1453

Your question isn't clear.

When I ran that code just now I obtained:

which is what I expected.

Can you clarify what you it is you're getting and what you want it to be.
