WriteValue Method (DateTime)

XmlWriter.WriteValue Method (DateTime)

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Writes a DateTime value.

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

public virtual void WriteValue(
	DateTime value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.DateTime
The DateTime value to write.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException

An invalid value was specified.

If WriteValue is called multiple times in succession, the values are not delimited by a space. You must call WriteWhitespace between calls to WriteValue to insert white space. Pass an array type to the XmlWriter.WriteValue(Object) overload to write out an array of distinct values.

If this method is called on an XmlWriter instance that outputs text-only, the typed value is serialized to text.



StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

Double price = 9.95;
DateTime date = new DateTime(2004, 5, 20);

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output))
{
    writer.WriteStartElement("book");
    writer.WriteStartAttribute("pub-date");
    writer.WriteValue(date);
    writer.WriteEndAttribute();

    writer.WriteStartElement("price");
    writer.WriteValue(price);
    writer.WriteEndElement();

    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.Flush();
}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
