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

public static XmlWriter Create(
	string outputFileName
)

Parameters

An XmlWriterSettings object with default settings is used to create the writer. If you wish to specify the features to support on the created writer, use the overload that takes an XmlWriterSettings object as one of its arguments, and pass in a XmlWriterSettings object with the correct settings.

Examples

The following example creates an XmlWriter object and writes a book node.

        using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("output.xml"))
        {
            writer.WriteStartElement("book");
            writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95");
            writer.WriteEndElement();
