XmlDocument.WriteTo(XmlWriter) Method

Definition

Saves the XmlDocument node to the specified XmlWriter.

public override void WriteTo (System.Xml.XmlWriter w);

Parameters

w
XmlWriter

The XmlWriter to which you want to save.

Examples

The following example displays the document onscreen.

public static void WriteXml( XmlDocument doc )
 {
    XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
    writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
    doc.WriteTo( writer );
    writer.Flush();
    Console.WriteLine();
 }

Remarks

This method is a Microsoft extension to the Document Object Model (DOM). It is functionally equivalent to the OuterXml property.

The XmlDeclaration.Encoding property determines the encoding that is written out. If the Encoding property does not have a value, the XmlDocument is written out without an encoding attribute.
