XmlWriter::WriteEndElement Method ()
When overridden in a derived class, closes one element and pops the corresponding namespace scope.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | This results in an invalid XML document. |
| 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.” |
If the element contains no content, a short end tag "/>" is written; otherwise, a full end tag is written.
 Note |
|---|
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 XmlWwriter 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 WriteEndElementAsync.
The following example uses the WriteEndElement and the WriteFullEndElement methods.
