Although you have not provided full information , following is the sample code near to your requirement.

It reads main.xml file which contains many child nodes named ChildNode and write seperate file for each child node.

XmlDocument xml= new XmlDocument();
xml.Load(@"c:\main.xml");

XmlNodeList xnRep = xml.DocumentElement.GetElementsByTagName("ChildNode");

string strFileName = "ChildNode";
int intFileCount;

for(int i =0; i <xnRep.Count;i++)
{
          //Stores the ChildNode Elements in the Variable
          strDest = xnRep[i].InnerXml;

          //Create the New File with the name "ChildNode_1.xml" and "ChildNode_3.xml" 
          XmlWriter xw = XmlWriter.Create(strFileName + "_" + intFileCount + ".xml");

          //Write the XML
          xw.WriteRaw(strDest.ToString());

          xw.Close();

          intFileCount++;
}
