Answer 1

Assuming you can use LINQ to XML, and XML is currently in the file:

 XDocument document = XDocument.Load("test.xml"); document.Save("test2.xml", SaveOptions.DisableFormatting); 

Answer 2

If you have XML in line:

 xml.Replace("\n", "").Replace("\r", "") 

Answer 3

If you cannot use LINQ to XML, you can:

 XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument() xmlDoc.LoadXml("Xml as string"); or xmlDoc.Load(filepath) xmlDoc.InnerXml -- this should return one liner 

Answer 4

I know this is an old question, but it helped me find XDocument.ToString ()

 XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("file.xml"); // Flat one line XML string s = doc.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting); 

Check Document SaveOptions
