Generate XML dynamically

Hi,

 I have to generate an XML to send as Request, from a list returned by a dynamic soql query.The fields to be queried from the object in the soql will be in my custom settings like name-Account,and fields to be queried in the record of account.

How do I generate XML, for dynamic object selected and its fields,suppose if I select object 'B', in my page,i should generate XML for the object B with the fields in the custom setting mapped to B or if its object A the fields for object A from the custom settings...

Thanks in Advance..

Can you put a sample of the XML request that you are looking for ?

 //getting the fields to be queried from custom setting
Template_Custom_Setting__c myCS1 = Template_Custom_Setting__c.getValues(oAccount.XML_Response__c);
//Question:how do i get the fields i.e values in each field of the above custom setting?? for now im splitting by comma,and then by = and based on the index positions in the array i am getting the fields into a string...called finalFields.
now from the query returned i have to generate XML with field label and its value dynamically 

xmlResponse  = 'Select Id'+finalFields+' from Account Where Id ='+' \''+CurrentPageId+'\'';
        Account Acc = Database.query(xmlResponse);



 XmlStreamWriter w = new XmlStreamWriter();
        w.writeStartDocument(null, '1.0'); 
        w.writeStartElement(null, 'accounts', null); 
        
        w.writeStartElement(null, 'account', null);
        w.writeStartElement(null, 'accountid', null); 
        w.writeCharacters(Acc.Id); 
        w.writeEndElement();
     w.writeStartElement(null, 'AccountName', null); 
        w.writeCharacters(Acc.Name); 
        w.writeEndElement();
         w.writeEndElement(); 
          w.writeEndElement(); 
           w.writeEndDocument();  


something like this I will not always get AccountID,Account NAme ... the fields may differ based on the custom setting i select

Below is a pseudo code : 

List<String> fieldNames = new List<String>();
for(Template_Custom_Setting__c thisCs : Template_Custom_Setting__c.getValues(objectName)){
    // Keep your splitting logic for getting the fields name as is.  
    fieldNames.add(thisCs.fieldName);
}
for(String thisField : fieldNames){
    finalFields =+ thisField;
}

String queryString = 'Select Id'+finalFields+' from Account Where Id ='+' \''+CurrentPageId+'\'';
List<sObject> sobjList = Database.query(queryString);
// Iterate over the list of field names. 
for(sObject thisRecord : sobjList){
    for(String thisField : fieldNames){
        system.debug('#### Field Name = '+thisField);
        system.debug('#### Field Value = '+thisRecord.get(thisField));
        // you can create your XML structure, with the above values.
    }
}

If my suggestion(s) worked, do let me know by marking the answer as "Best Answer" right under the comment.
This will help the rest of the community should they have a similar issue in the future.
