I know this must be a rookie question, but how do i accomplish that? Because from what i have seen here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamwriter or at XMLWriter is not helping me, because i just want to save all, not write specific lines.

Basically i have an httpRequest that returns back an XML response. I am getting that in a stream, and from that i want to save it to an xml file, for later use. Part of the code: 

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.EndGetResponse(asynchronousResult);
            Stream streamResponse = response.GetResponseStream();
            StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse);
            string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd();

            XDocument blabla = XDocument.Parse(responseString);

            // Here is where the saving to a file should occur

            streamResponse.Close();
            streamRead.Close();

Why do you need to parse the file? In .NET 4 you can just write it directly to disk using a file stream like this:

using (var fileStream = File.Create("file.xml"))
{
    streamResponse.CopyTo(fileStream);
}

If you are using an earlier version of the .NET framework, you can use the method described here to copy data from one stream to another.

As you already have the XML response as a string, I think what you need is to use a StreamWriter class to write the response string straight to a file.

There is an MSDN example of its use here: How to: Write Text to a File
