XmlWriter Class
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)
The XmlWriter class supports the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 and the Namespaces in XML recommendations.

| Although the Microsoft .NET Framework includes the XmlTextWriter class, which is an implementation of the XmlWriter class, in the 2.0 release, it is recommended that you use the Create method to create new XmlWriter objects. The Create method allows you to specify the features to support on the created XmlWriter object, and it also allows you to take full advantage of the new features introduced in the 2.0 release. |

Security Considerations
The following items are things to consider when working with the XmlWriter class.
-
Exceptions thrown by the XmlWriter can disclose path information that you do not want bubbled up to the application. Your applications must catch exceptions and process them appropriately.
-
The XmlWriter does not validate any data that is passed to the WriteDocType or WriteRaw methods. You should not pass arbitrary data to these methods.
