Step4:- Write the following code on insert button click, which are given below:-


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
  XmlNode xdeclaration = xdoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration, null, null);
        xdoc.AppendChild(xdeclaration);
        XmlElement xroot = xdoc.CreateElement("Employee");
        xdoc.AppendChild(xroot);
        XmlElement emp_id = xdoc.CreateElement("eid");
        emp_id.InnerText = TextBox1.Text;
        xroot.AppendChild(emp_id);
        XmlElement emp_name = xdoc.CreateElement("ename");
        emp_name.InnerText = TextBox2.Text;
        xroot.AppendChild(emp_name);
        XmlElement emp_age = xdoc.CreateElement("eage");
        emp_age.InnerText = TextBox3.Text;
        xroot.AppendChild(emp_age);
        xdoc.Save(Server.MapPath("~/Employee.xmL"));
Label4.Text = ("Data has been successfully inserted & GENERATE the XML FILE at Runtime");
        Label4.ForeColor = Color.Red;
 }

Step5:- Now Double click on Update Button and write the following code which is given below:-
see it:-


protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Employee.xmL"));
        ds.Tables[0].PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { ds.Tables[0].Columns[0] };
        DataRow dr = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Find(TextBox1.Text);
        dr[1] = TextBox2.Text;
        dr[2] = TextBox3.Text;
        ds.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("~/Employee.xmL"));
        Label4.Text = ("xml data has been successfully updated");
        Label4.ForeColor = Color.Red;
    }

Step6:- Now Double click on Delete Button and write the following code which is given below:-
see it:-


protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Employee.xmL"));
        ds.Tables[0].PrimaryKey = new DataColumn[] { ds.Tables[0].Columns[0] };
        DataRow dr = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Find(TextBox1.Text);
        dr.Delete();
        ds.WriteXml(Server.MapPath("~/Employee.xmL"));
        Label4.Text = ("xml data has been successfully deleted");
        Label4.ForeColor = Color.Red;
    }

Step7:- See all code which are written in all button(insert, update, delete) clicks and Namespace.
