Writing to an XML file

Question

Hello, I followed this tutorial on reading XML from a file. But I couldnt find any info how to write to an XML , even create new entries?

My code is similar to this

var assembly = IntrospectionExtensions.GetTypeInfo(typeof(LoadResourceText)).Assembly;  
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("WorkingWithFiles.LibXmlResource.xml");  
List<Monkey> monkeys;  
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader (stream)) {  
    var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<Monkey>));  
    monkeys = (List<Monkey>)serializer.Deserialize(reader);  
}  
var listView = new ListView ();  
listView.ItemsSource = monkeys;  

Thank you

I'm trying to write to a file.

Sorry for the mistake. But embedded resources are read only, we cannot edit the embedded file. To read and write to a file in Xamarin.Forms, try to achieve this on each native platform project.
