XmlWriter.Create Method (TextWriter, XmlWriterSettings)
Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the TextWriter and XmlWriterSettings objects.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters
- output
- Type: System.IO.TextWriter
The TextWriter to which you want to write. The XmlWriter writes XML 1.0 text syntax and appends it to the specified TextWriter.
- settings
- Type: System.Xml.XmlWriterSettings
The XmlWriterSettings object used to configure the new XmlWriter instance. If this is null, a XmlWriterSettings with default settings is used.
If the XmlWriter is being used with the Transform method, you should use the OutputSettings property to obtain an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct settings. This ensures that the created XmlWriter object has the correct output settings.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The text value is null. |
The following example writes out an XML string.
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sw, settings))
{
writer.WriteStartElement("book");
writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Flush();
String output = sw.ToString();
