I need to post the XML to web service as string format. And again I want to parse the response data. Response data also XML format string. I done it in j2me applications. But I don't know how to do this on MonoTouch? Anyone tell me How to do this?

My favorite API these days is the System.Xml.Linq API, look at the documentation and samples here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.linq.xdocument.aspx

For what you want, this is very easy:

  var s = new XDocument () {
      new XElement ("root")
  };
  Console.WriteLine ("The XML is: {0}", s.ToString ());

You can create the XML by using the XmlWriter class.

The easiest way to parse XML would be to use LINQ.
