XNode.WriteTo Method
Writes this node to an XmlWriter.
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
You can use this method to write code that does a streaming transform of a very large document. For more information, see How to: Perform Streaming Transform of Large XML Documents.
The following example creates an XmlWriter that writes to a StringBuilder. It then uses this method to write two XML trees to the writer.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); XmlWriterSettings xws = new XmlWriterSettings(); xws.OmitXmlDeclaration = true; xws.Indent = true; using (XmlWriter xw = XmlWriter.Create(sb, xws)) { xw.WriteStartElement("Root"); XElement child1 = new XElement("Child", new XElement("GrandChild", "some content") ); child1.WriteTo(xw); XElement child2 = new XElement("AnotherChild", new XElement("GrandChild", "different content") ); child2.WriteTo(xw); xw.WriteEndElement(); } Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
This example produces the following output:
<Root>
<Child>
<GrandChild>some content</GrandChild>
</Child>
<AnotherChild>
<GrandChild>different content</GrandChild>
</AnotherChild>
</Root>
