XmlTextWriter.BaseStream Property

Gets the underlying stream object.

Namespace:  System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
public Stream BaseStream { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.IO.Stream
The stream to which the XmlTextWriter is writing or null if the XmlTextWriter was constructed using a TextWriter that does not inherit from the StreamWriter class.
Note Note

In the .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlWriter instances using the 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.

If the writer was constructed using a TextWriter that is derived from the StreamWriter class, this property is equivalent to the StreamWriter.BaseStream property. If the writer was constructed using a Stream, this property returns the Stream passed to the constructor. If the writer was constructed using a file name, this property returns the Stream representing the file.
