XmlWriterSettings.ConformanceLevel Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets the level of conformance which the XmlWriter complies with.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property ConformanceLevel As ConformanceLevel

public ConformanceLevel ConformanceLevel { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Xml.ConformanceLevel
One of the ConformanceLevel values. The default is ConformanceLevel.Document.

Remarks

If the writer detects any information items that would violate the specified level of conformance, it throws an exception. In some cases, the writer automatically corrects the conformance error. For example, the writer closes an unclosed attribute without throwing an exception.

Examples

            Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
            settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = True
            settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
            settings.CloseOutput = False

            ' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
            Dim strm As New MemoryStream()
            Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings)
                writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab")
                writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a")
                writer.Flush()
            End Using


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();
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings))

    writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab");
    writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a");
