Answer 1

With 3.5, something like:

XNamespace ns = "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";
XNamespace xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null),
    new XElement(ns + "urlset",
        new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "xsi", xsi),
        new XAttribute(xsi + "schemaLocation", "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"),
        new XElement(ns + "url")
    )
);
// save/writeto
string s = doc.ToString();
