{
String[] FileContent = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\Temp\vba.csv");
String XMLNS = "";
XElement Inv = new XElement("Invoice",
from items in FileContent
let fields = items.Split(',')
select new XElement("Item",
new XElement("ID", fields[0]),
new XElement("Name", fields[1]),
new XElement("Price", fields[2]),
new XElement("Availability", fields[3]),
new XElement("TotalPrice", fields[4])
)
);
File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Temp\vba.xml", XMLNS + Inv.ToString() );
}
