  Good news -- the XmlTextWriter (look for it in the online help or Google it) will help you do this in no time.

  Of course, exact usage depends a lot on how you want to structure your XML. A simple example:

  Using xtw As New Xml.XmlTextWriter("c:\tmp\test.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)

  xtw.WriteStartElement("MyDocumentRoot")
  xtw.WriteAttributeString("Text1", "Text1.Text goes here")
  xtw.WriteAttributeString("Text2", "Text2.Text goes here")
  xtw.WriteEndElement()
  xtw.Close()

  End Using

  This will create two attributes, Text1 and Text2 on the root node of your XML document. Of course, in real life you'll most likely want to have a separate node for each text box; that's very easy as well:

  Using xtw As New Xml.XmlTextWriter("c:\tmp\test2.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)

  xtw.WriteStartElement("MyDocumentRoot")
  xtw.WriteStartElement("Text1")
  xtw.WriteAttributeString("Text", "Text1.Text goes here")
  xtw.WriteEndElement()
  xtw.WriteStartElement("Text2")
  xtw.WriteAttributeString("Text", "Text1.Text goes here")
  xtw.WriteEndElement()
  xtw.WriteEndElement()
  xtw.Close()

  End Using

  To read back your XML, there's the XmlTextReader, along with many other goodies in the XML namespace.
