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

public string NewLineChars { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
The character string to use for line breaks. This can be set to any string value. However, to ensure valid XML, you should specify only valid white space characters, such as space characters, tabs, carriage returns, or line feeds. The default is \r\n (carriage return, new line).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The value assigned to the NewLineChars is null.
