the easiest way to do that is to add a dataset to your solution and to design it in design viewer add the tables that you need , columns to the table relations between tables ... etc like you design the database tables
add instance of this dataset to your form
in your form load event handlers use mydataset.readxml(@"filepath.xml")
in your save button event handler use mydataset.writexml(@"filepath.xml")
but remember to add using System.Xml ; name spaces, also first time you try to read it could give you nullreference exception (i'm not sure )because the file doesn't exist so (if that happend)let your datasetwrite it manualy first time

Hi Jehan,
Make use of the instance methods, ReadXml and WriteXml of Dataset class.
