XmlTextWriter.WriteDocType Method
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)
public override void WriteDocType ( string name, string pubid, string sysid, string subset )
public void WriteDocType ( String name, String pubid, String sysid, String subset )
public override function WriteDocType ( name : String, pubid : String, sysid : String, subset : String )
Parameters
- name
The name of the DOCTYPE. This must be non-empty.
- pubid
If non-null it also writes PUBLIC "pubid" "sysid" where pubid and sysid are replaced with the value of the given arguments.
- sysid
If pubid is null and sysid is non-null it writes SYSTEM "sysid" where sysid is replaced with the value of this argument.
- subset
If non-null it writes [subset] where subset is replaced with the value of this argument.

| In the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlWriter instances using the System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create method and the XmlWriterSettings class. This allows you to take full advantage of all the new features introduced in this release. For more information, see Creating XML Writers. |
This method does not check for invalid characters in pubid, sysid or subset. It also does not check that the internal subset is well-formed.
Security Note |
|---|
| The XmlTextWriter does not validate any data that is passed to the WriteDocType method. You should not pass arbitrary data to this method. |
The following example writes an XML file representing a book.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Xml; public class Sample { private const string filename = "sampledata.xml"; public static void Main() { XmlTextWriter writer = null; writer = new XmlTextWriter (filename, null); //Use indenting for readability. writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; //Write the XML delcaration. writer.WriteStartDocument(); //Write the ProcessingInstruction node. String PItext="type='text/xsl' href='book.xsl'"; writer.WriteProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", PItext); //Write the DocumentType node. writer.WriteDocType("book", null , null, "<!ENTITY h 'hardcover'>"); //Write a Comment node. writer.WriteComment("sample XML"); //Write a root element. writer.WriteStartElement("book"); //Write the genre attribute. writer.WriteAttributeString("genre", "novel"); //Write the ISBN attribute. writer.WriteAttributeString("ISBN", "1-8630-014"); //Write the title. writer.WriteElementString("title", "The Handmaid's Tale"); //Write the style element. writer.WriteStartElement("style"); writer.WriteEntityRef("h"); writer.WriteEndElement(); //Write the price. writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95"); //Write CDATA. writer.WriteCData("Prices 15% off!!"); //Write the close tag for the root element. writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteEndDocument(); //Write the XML to file and close the writer. writer.Flush(); writer.Close(); //Load the file into an XmlDocument to ensure well formed XML. XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); //Preserve white space for readability. doc.PreserveWhitespace = true; //Load the file. doc.Load(filename); //Display the XML content to the console.
