Indent Property

XmlWriterSettings.Indent 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 indicating whether to indent elements.

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

public bool Indent { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true to write individual elements on new lines and indent; otherwise false. The default is false.

This property only applies to XmlWriter instances that output text content; otherwise, this setting is ignored.

The elements are indented as long as the element does not contain mixed content. Once the WriteString or WriteWhitespace method is called to write out a mixed element content, the XmlWriter stops indenting. The indenting resumes once the mixed content element is closed.



StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

    XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
    settings.Indent = true;
    settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
    settings.NewLineOnAttributes = true;

    using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output, settings))
    {
    writer.WriteStartElement("order");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("orderID", "367A54");
    writer.WriteAttributeString("date", "2001-05-03");
    writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95");
    writer.WriteEndElement();

    writer.Flush();
}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
