public:
virtual void WriteEndDocument() abstract

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

The XML document is invalid.

InvalidOperationException

An XmlWriter method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message “An asynchronous operation is already in progress.”

System_CAPS_noteNote

When you use the XmlWriter methods to output XML, the elements and attributes will not be written until you call the Close method. For example, if you are using the XmlWriter to populate an XmlDocument, until you close the XmlWriter, you will not be able to observe the written elements and attributes in the target document.

For the asynchronous version of this method, see WriteEndDocumentAsync.

The following example writes an XML file representing a book.
