Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the XmlWriter should also close the underlying stream or TextWriter when the Close method is called.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property CloseOutput As Boolean
public bool CloseOutput { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true to also close the underlying stream or TextWriter; otherwise false. The default is false.
Remarks
This setting is useful when you wish to write XML to a stream, and then add extra information to the end of the stream after the XmlWriter has finished writing.
This property only applies to XmlWriter instances that output XML content to a stream or TextWriter; otherwise, this setting is ignored.
For more information and code examples, see XML Data.
Examples
Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = True
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
settings.CloseOutput = False
' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
Dim strm As New MemoryStream()
Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings)
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab")
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a")
writer.Flush()
End Using
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
settings.CloseOutput = false;
// Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
MemoryStream strm = new MemoryStream();
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings))
{
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab");
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a");
writer.Flush();
}
// Do additonal processing on the stream.
