As far as I understand, you want to use attributes, to create one you can use xmlElement.setAttribute() method, here is an example how to use it axzaptech.wordpress.com/.../create-xml-and-write-to-file-in-dynamics-ax

Have you written the code in AX X++, or in Visual Studio and use it as a .Net reference class library?

There are a lot of examples out there on how to do this in C#, I would recommend going down that route:

Hi it is not really like the Attributes because there you have the value enclosed by "" but not the xml they want to have. there you have the type <string> </string> beside the value

Please, be more specific, it's not clear what you need from us.

My guess it that you simply called .xml() method on a table buffer and you don't understand at all how to generate XML with element names defined by yourself. Is my guess correct? If so, let's talk about the XmlDocument class...

You can add Tag <Field> with attribute FieldName that has a value "Person" then add child tag <String> with value 1005 and so on.

Okay, let's stop guessing. Please show us your code (generating XML) and explain what's the problem you need help with.

Also try asking some questions, instead of just showing a piece of XML code.
