Using 116.1 fb{sup -1} of data collected by the BABAR detector, we present an analysis of {xi}{sub c}{sup 0} production in B decays and from the cc continuum, with the {xi}{sub c}{sup 0} decaying into {omega}{sup -}K{sup +} and {xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} final states. We measure the ratio of branching fractions B({xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{yields}{omega}{sup -}K{sup +})/B({xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{yields}{xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}) to be 0.294{+-}0.018{+-}0.016, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The {xi}{sub c}{sup 0} momentum spectrum is measured on and 40 MeV below the {upsilon}(4S) resonance. From these spectra the branching fraction product B(B{yields}{xi}{sub c}{sup 0}X)xB({xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{yields}{xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}) is measured to be (2.11{+-}0.19{+-}0.25)x10{sup -4}, and the cross-section product {sigma}(e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}{xi}{sub c}{sup 0}X)xB({xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{yields}{xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}) from the continuum is measured to be (388{+-}39{+-}41) fb at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV.
