You can stick it in a DataSet and call the writexml on the dataset. You can
then strip out the elements you don't need (or leave them in depending on
how they'll affect your app).

Orr,

dataset ds = new dataset();

datatable dt = new datatable(); ds.Add(dt);
ds.writexml(saveFileDialog1.FileName);

The result is the same as in 2005 this is done automatic there.

I hope this helps,

dataset ds = new dataset();
