Maybe you can use FileInfo.Length.

use OuterXml to get the xml in a string,
and then the Length of that string.
Should give a good estimate?

The actual resulting filesize depends on encoding:
if you use UTF-16 then every character is (at least) two bytes.

Thanx Hans that will give a rough estimate and in my case it will work

Remember though that the size of the file is not necessarily the number of
character in the XML since XML support Unicode which is a multi-byte
encoding.
