I have a string and its value is:

<ROOT>
    qwerty
    <SampleElement>adsf</SampleElement> 
    <SampleElement2>The text of the sample element2</SampleElement2> 
</ROOT>

How can I write this string to a file using C# 3.0?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Try this:

string s = "<xml><foo></foo></xml>";
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(s);
xdoc.Save("myfilename.xml");

Has the added benefit that the load will fail if your XML is invalid.
