 virtual bool SerializeToXmlElement(System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ writer, System::String ^ elementName);
protected:
 virtual bool SerializeToXmlElement(System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ writer, System::String ^ elementName);
protected internal virtual bool SerializeToXmlElement (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer, string elementName);

Parameters

writer
XmlWriter

The XmlWriter that writes to the configuration file.

elementName
String

The name of the ConfigurationElement to be written.

Returns

Boolean

true if writing was successful; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception

The element has multiple child elements.

Remarks

The SerializeToXmlElement method is called after the call to the Unmerge method during serialization. The SerializeToXmlElement method writes out the contents of the configuration element between the beginning and ending tags of the element. Override SerializeToXmlElement to provide a custom serialization method.
