Gets or sets a value indicating whether the XmlWriter should also close the underlying stream or TextWriter when the Close method is called.

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property CloseOutput As Boolean
Dim instance As XmlWriterSettings
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.CloseOutput
instance.CloseOutput = value
public bool CloseOutput { get; set; }

This setting is useful when you wish to write XML to a stream, and then add extra information to the end of the stream after the XmlWriter has finished writing.
This property only applies to XmlWriter instances that output XML content to a stream or TextWriter; otherwise, this setting is ignored.
The following example writes an XML fragment to a memory stream.
Dim settings As XmlWriterSettings = New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
settings.CloseOutput = false
' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
Dim strm as MemoryStream = new MemoryStream()
Dim writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings)
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab")
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a")
writer.Flush()
writer.Close()
' Do additonal processing on the stream.
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
settings.CloseOutput = false;
// Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
MemoryStream strm = new MemoryStream();
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings);
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab");
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a");
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
// Do additonal processing on the stream.
