how to construct XML via strings

[Maxim Grinev]

Hi all,

we need to construct XML fragments using string (not element constructors).
Please note in our application we cannot use element constructors.

For example:

("<a>","123","</a>")

When it is serialized, < and > are replaced with &lt; and &gt; respectively.

Is there any way to construct XML using strings?

Best regards,
