Async Property

XmlWriterSettings.Async Property

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

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether asynchronous XmlWriter methods can be used on a particular XmlWriter instance.

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

public bool Async { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if asynchronous methods can be used; otherwise, false.

You must set this value to true when you create a new XmlWriter instance if you want to use asynchronous XmlWriter methods on that instance. After the XmlWriter instance is created, the Async property is read-only. The default value of this property is false.

This flag is ignored by the XmlWriter.Create(XmlWriter, XmlWriterSettings) overload. This means that if you create a new XmlWriter based on an existing XmlWriter, the async behavior depends on the input XmlWriter, and you cannot use the Async flag to change the async behavior.
