How can I convert XML files to one CSV file in C#?
I have a collection of strings that are XML content. I want to iterate thru my collection and build a CSV file to stream to the user for download (sometimes it can be hundreds in the collection). This is my loop:
foreach (string response in items.Responses)
{
string xmlResponse = response;
//BUILD CSV HERE
}
This is what my XML content looks like for each iteration (xmlResponse). I want to put it in a flat file including the "properties" attributes:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<properties id="60375c90-9dd7-400f-aafb-a8726df409a9" name="Account Request" date="Thursday, March 04, 2010 2:14:07 PM" page="http://mydomain/sitefinity/CreateAccount.aspx" ip="192.168.1.255" browser="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8" referrer="http://mydomain/sitefinity/CreateAccount.aspx" confirmation="True" subject="Email from website: Account Request Form" sender="admin@admin.com" recipients="test@test.com, , " />

Can anyone help with this?
First, you need to load the string into an XDocument
for easy querying:
var xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlResponse);
Then you can use the methods of the XDocument class (e.g. Elements("Blah") and Attributes("Blah")) to extract the values that you want.
I don't think you're going to find anybody who is simply going to write the whole thing for you: that's your job. If you can tell us specifically what you're having trouble with, then we can give you some more help.
Use XSLT to convert the XML to CSV.
Here is a previous Stackoverflow answer

And here is a link with C# code to implement the XSLT in .Net 2.0
