Xmldocument represents an entire XML loaded into memory, while Xmlwriter is an object that assists in writing XML into a stream.
If you want to manipulate an XML, for example, load it from a file, change some part of its structure, and then save it, then I would use Xmldocument for that. With it is possible locate the elements using Xpath, which greatly facilitates manipulation.
This class and its related ones are part of . Net from version 3.5 onwards, much easier to work with than with Xmldocument and related. If you want to create applications without taking the previous versions of . net then this is the recommended way.
To create an XML structure, you only need a statement, instead of inserting nodes:
var xdocument = new XDocument(
new XElement("elementoRaiz",
new XAttribute("atributo1", "valor"),
new XElement("elementoFilho", "texto do elemento filho"),
new XElement("elementoFilho2", "texto do elemento filho 2")
));
If you just want to write an Xml in a file, for example, reading data from any source such as a database, you could use Xmlwriter to write the XML as you read the data from the database.

Xmldocument is a more complex class than Xmlwriter, as it contains more methods for handling xml while Xmlwriter basically serves to record this xml.
