create xml file from with in program [duplicate]

Question

I am making a program, with visual basic, that will show information about contacts. In the program you can make notes about the contact and I have a xml file as a template. My question how do I take the template and fill it with info and save it as an xml file?

template:

<Data>
<date_created></date_created>
<short_description></shot_description>
<full_note></full_note>
</Data>

Are you asking for a way to use an XML file as a template, that your program will fill in and then save as a new file, or are you asking how to create an XML file that has the above format/elements? — Tim

One option(Xml Literal):

Dim xml = <Data>
            <date_created></date_created>
            <short_description></shot_description>
            <full_note></full_note>
          </Data>

Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
xmldoc.LoadXml(xml.ToString)
xmldoc.Save({path})

Another option: xml Serialization
