string xml = "<node>it's my \"node\" & i like it<node>";
using (XmlTextWriter xtw = new XmlTextWriter(@"c:\xmlTest.xml", Encoding.Unicode))
{
    xtw.WriteStartElement("xmlEncodeTest");
    xtw.WriteAttributeString("testAttribute", xml);
    xtw.WriteString(xml);
    xtw.WriteEndElement();
}

// RESULT:
/*
<xmlEncodeTest testAttribute="&lt;node&gt;it's my &quot;node&quot; &amp; i like it&lt;node&gt;">
    &lt;node&gt;it's my "node" &amp; i like it&lt;node&gt;
</xmlEncodeTest>

follow the link, there're are 4 ways to achieve XML Escaping. From the simple way (escaping chars manually via string replaces), to the complex solution (using the XmlTextWriter), passing through some encoding utilis.

Look for the HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode-Method, maybe this can solve your problem.
