You have many options. You can use a StringBuilder directly to put the
string together, you can use a StringBuilder as temporary storage and a
StringWriter to write to it, or you can use a MemoryStream as temporary
storage and use a StreamWriter or an XmlTextWriter to write to it.

If you use a MemoryStream as temporary storage, you have to reset it and
read from it again to get the text as a string, while you can get a
string directly from a StringBuilder. On the other hand, the
XmlTextWriter may be handy for creating the XML.

If you use a writer, rememeber to flush it before getting the string.
