XmlWriter.WriteValue Method (DateTime)

Silverlight

Writes a DateTime value.

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

public virtual void WriteValue(
	DateTime value
)

Parameters

value: Type: System.DateTime
The DateTime value to write.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	An invalid value was specified.

Remarks

If WriteValue is called multiple times in succession, the values are not delimited by a space. You must call WriteWhitespace between calls to WriteValue to insert white space. Pass an array type to the XmlWriter.WriteValue(Object) overload to write out an array of distinct values.

If this method is called on an XmlWriter instance that outputs text-only, the typed value is serialized to text.

Examples



StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

Double price = 9.95;
DateTime date = new DateTime(2004, 5, 20);

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output))
{
    writer.WriteStartElement("book");
    writer.WriteStartAttribute("pub-date");
    writer.WriteValue(date);
    writer.WriteEndAttribute();

    writer.WriteStartElement("price");
    writer.WriteValue(price);
    writer.WriteEndElement();

    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.Flush();
}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
