       // Create an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct options.
       XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
       settings.Indent = true;
       settings.IndentChars = ("\t");
       settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;

       // Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
       writer = XmlWriter.Create("data.xml", settings);
       writer.WriteStartElement("book");
       writer.WriteElementString("item", "tesing");
       writer.WriteEndElement();
    
       writer.Flush();
     }
     finally  {
        if (writer != null)
          writer.Close();
     }

Public Class Sample 

  Public Shared Sub Main() 
  
    Dim writer As XmlWriter = Nothing

    Try 

       ' Create an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct options. 
       Dim settings As XmlWriterSettings = New XmlWriterSettings()
       settings.Indent = true
       settings.IndentChars = (ControlChars.Tab)
       settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true

       ' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
       writer = XmlWriter.Create("data.xml", settings)
       writer.WriteStartElement("book")
       writer.WriteElementString("item", "tesing")
       writer.WriteEndElement()
    
       writer.Flush()

      Finally
         If Not (writer Is Nothing) Then
            writer.Close()
         End If
      End Try

   End Sub 
End Class

Remarks

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.
