XmlWriterSettings.CloseOutput Property
.NET Framework 4
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the XmlWriter should also close the underlying stream or TextWriter when the Close method is called.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue to also close the underlying stream or TextWriter; otherwise false. The default is false.
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.
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.
