You Can save Your List into a DataTable then WriteXml

    T t0 = new T();
       t0.id=1;
       t0.property1="John";
       t0.property2="Doe";
    List Tlist = new List();
       Tlist.Add(t0);

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
       dt.TableName = "People";
       dt.Columns.Add("ID");
       dt.Columns.Add("Name");
       dt.Columns.Add("Lastname");


        foreach(var item in tlist)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add();
            dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count-1]["ID"] = item.name;
            dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["Name"] = item.id_cod;
            dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["Lastname"] = item.id_cod;


        }
        dt.WriteXml("test.Xml");
