class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            XmlDeclaration xmlDeclaration = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", null);
            XNamespace xmlns = "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";
            XElement root = new XElement(xmlns +"urlset");


          

            

            XmlNode rootNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("url");

            xmlDoc.AppendChild(rootNode);
            XmlNode userNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("loc");
            userNode.InnerText = "http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com";
            rootNode.AppendChild(userNode);

            XmlNode changefreq = xmlDoc.CreateElement("changefreq");
            changefreq.InnerText = "yearly";
            rootNode.AppendChild(changefreq);

            XmlNode priority = xmlDoc.CreateElement("priority");
            priority.InnerText = "0.4";
            rootNode.AppendChild(priority);
             

            
            XmlNode OurpRocesssuserNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("loc");
            OurpRocesssuserNode.InnerText = "http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/OurProcess";
            rootNode.AppendChild(OurpRocesssuserNode);

            XmlNode OurProcesschangefreq = xmlDoc.CreateElement("changefreq");
            OurProcesschangefreq.InnerText = "yearly1";
            rootNode.AppendChild(OurProcesschangefreq);

            XmlNode OurProcesspriority = xmlDoc.CreateElement("priority");
            OurProcesspriority.InnerText = "0.41";
            rootNode.AppendChild(OurProcesspriority);


            XmlNode AboutUsNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("loc");
            AboutUsNode.InnerText = "http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/l/AboutUs";
            rootNode.AppendChild(AboutUsNode);

            XmlNode AboutUschangefreq = xmlDoc.CreateElement("changefreq");
            AboutUschangefreq.InnerText = "monthly";
            rootNode.AppendChild(AboutUschangefreq);

            XmlNode AboutUspriority = xmlDoc.CreateElement("priority");
            AboutUspriority.InnerText = "0.2";
            rootNode.AppendChild(AboutUspriority);

            XmlNode CareersNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("loc");
            CareersNode.InnerText = "http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/l/Careers";
            rootNode.AppendChild(CareersNode);

            XmlNode Careerschangefreq = xmlDoc.CreateElement("changefreq");
            Careerschangefreq.InnerText = "daily";
            rootNode.AppendChild(Careerschangefreq);

            XmlNode CAreerspriority = xmlDoc.CreateElement("priority");
            CAreerspriority.InnerText = "0.3";
            rootNode.AppendChild(CAreerspriority);


           

            xmlDoc.Save("test-doc.xml");
        }

        
    }

I want to make the code to short as much . a parameter or parameters will be passed & they generate XML like the above XML.?

<url>
  <loc>http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com</loc>
  <changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
  <priority>0.4</priority>
  <loc>http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/OurProcess</loc>
  <changefreq>yearly1</changefreq>
  <priority>0.41</priority>
  <loc>http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/l/AboutUs</loc>
  <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
  <priority>0.2</priority>
  <loc>http://localdevweb.rainsoftfn.com/l/Careers</loc>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
  <priority>0.3</priority>
</url>

Try something like this.  You can convert this to an XmlDocument at the end.

XNamespace ns = "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";
		XElement myXml = new XElement(ns+"urlset", 
									  new XElement("url",
												   new XElement("loc", "http://www.example.com/"),
												   new XElement("lastmod", "2012-04-30"),
												   new XElement("changefreq", "monthly"),
												   new XElement("priority", "1.0")),
									  new XElement("url", 
												   new XElement("loc", "http://www.example.com/about-us.html"),
												   new XElement("changefreq", "yearly"),
												   new XElement("priority", "0.4")));
		Console.WriteLine(myXml.ToString());

I have updated the fiddle

Because the Xml is having namespace at the root level, you have to add the same namespace for all the child elements
