you.

// build an Xml string using the StringBuilder
public static String BuildXml2(Int32 Reps)
{
  // make sure that the StringBuilder capacity is
  // large enough for the resulting text
  StringBuilder oSB = new StringBuilder(Reps * 165);
  oSB.Append("<Orders method=\"2\">");

  for( Int32 nRep = 1; nRep<=Reps; nRep++ )
  {
     oSB.Append("<Order orderId=\"");
     oSB.Append(nRep);
     oSB.Append("\" orderDate=\"");
     oSB.Append(DateTime.Now.ToString());
     oSB.Append("\" customerId=\"");
     oSB.Append(nRep);
     oSB.Append("\" productId=\"");
     oSB.Append(nRep);
     oSB.Append("\" productDescription=\"");
     oSB.Append("This is the product with the Id: ");
     oSB.Append(nRep);
     oSB.Append("\" quantity=\"");
     oSB.Append(nRep);
     oSB.Append("\"/>");
  }
  oSB.Append("</Orders>");

  return oSB.ToString();
}
