XmlTextWriter.WriteName Method

.NET Framework 4

Writes out the specified name, ensuring it is a valid name according to the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#NT-Name).

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

Syntax

C++

Copy

public override void WriteName(
	string name
)

Parameters

name: Type: System.String
Name to write.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	name is not a valid XML name; or name is either null or String.Empty.

Remarks

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 Namespaces is set to true, WriteName also checks that the name is also valid according to the W3C Namespaces in XML recommendation.
