Creates a new XmlWriter instance.

Overloads

Create(StringBuilder, XmlWriterSettings)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the StringBuilder and XmlWriterSettings objects.
Create(String, XmlWriterSettings)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the filename and XmlWriterSettings object.
Create(TextWriter, XmlWriterSettings)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the TextWriter and XmlWriterSettings objects.
Create(Stream, XmlWriterSettings)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the stream and XmlWriterSettings object.
Create(XmlWriter, XmlWriterSettings)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified XmlWriter and XmlWriterSettings objects.
Create(StringBuilder)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified StringBuilder.
Create(String)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified filename.
Create(TextWriter)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified TextWriter.
Create(Stream)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified stream.
Create(XmlWriter)	Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified XmlWriter object.

Remarks

Some of the Create overloads include a settings parameter that accepts an XmlWriterSettings object. You can use this object to:

Specify which features you want supported on the created XmlWriter object.
Reuse the XmlWriterSettings object to create multiple writer objects. The XmlWriterSettings object is copied and marked read-only for each created writer. Changes to the settings on an XmlWriterSettings instance do not affect existing writers with the same settings. Thus, you can use the same settings to create multiple writers with the same functionality. Or, you can modify the settings on an XmlWriterSettings instance and create a new writer with a different set of features.
Add features to an existing XML writer. The Create method can accept another XmlWriter object. The underlying XmlWriter object does not have to be an XML writer created by the static Create method. For example, you can specify a user-defined XML writer to add additional features to.
Take full advantage of features such as better conformance checking and compliance to the XML 1.0 recommendation that are available only on XmlWriter objects created by the static Create method.

If you use a Create overload that doesn't accept an XmlWriterSettings object, the following default writer settings are used:

Setting	Default
CheckCharacters	`true`
CloseOutput	`false`
ConformanceLevel	ConformanceLevel.Document
Encoding	Encoding.UTF8
Indent	`false`
IndentChars	Two spaces
NamespaceHandling	Default (no removal)
NewLineChars	`\r\n` (carriage return, line feed) for non-Unix platforms, or `\n` (line feed) for Unix platforms
NewLineHandling	NewLineHandling.Replace
NewLineOnAttributes	`false`
OmitXmlDeclaration	`false`
OutputMethod	XmlOutputMethod.Xml
WriteEndDocumentOnClose	`true`

Note

Although the .NET Framework includes the XmlTextWriter class, which is a concrete implementation of the XmlWriter class, we recommend that you create XmlWriter instances by using the Create method.

Create(StringBuilder, XmlWriterSettings)

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the StringBuilder and XmlWriterSettings objects.

public:
 static System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ Create(System::Text::StringBuilder ^ output, System::Xml::XmlWriterSettings ^ settings);

public static System.Xml.XmlWriter Create (System.Text.StringBuilder output, System.Xml.XmlWriterSettings settings);

public static System.Xml.XmlWriter Create (System.Text.StringBuilder output, System.Xml.XmlWriterSettings? settings);

static member Create : System.Text.StringBuilder * System.Xml.XmlWriterSettings -> System.Xml.XmlWriter

Public Shared Function Create (output As StringBuilder, settings As XmlWriterSettings) As XmlWriter

Parameters

output: StringBuilder

The StringBuilder to which to write to. Content written by the XmlWriter is appended to the StringBuilder.

settings: XmlWriterSettings

The XmlWriterSettings object used to configure the new XmlWriter instance. If this is null, a XmlWriterSettings with default settings is used.

If the XmlWriter is being used with the Transform(String, XmlWriter) method, you should use the OutputSettings property to obtain an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct settings. This ensures that the created XmlWriter object has the correct output settings.

Returns

XmlWriter

An XmlWriter object.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The builder value is null.

Applies to

Create(String, XmlWriterSettings)

Public Shared Function Create (output As Stream, settings As XmlWriterSettings) As XmlWriter

Parameters

output: Stream

The stream to which you want to write. The XmlWriter writes XML 1.0 text syntax and appends it to the specified stream.

settings: XmlWriterSettings

The XmlWriterSettings object used to configure the new XmlWriter instance. If this is null, a XmlWriterSettings with default settings is used.

Returns

XmlWriter

An XmlWriter object.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Examples

The following example writes an XML fragment to a memory stream.

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();
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings);
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab");
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a");

writer.Close();

// Do additional processing on the stream.

Dim settings As XmlWriterSettings = New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
settings.CloseOutput = false

' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
Dim strm as MemoryStream = new MemoryStream()
Dim writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings)
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab")
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a")
writer.Flush()
writer.Close()

' Do additional processing on the stream.

Remarks

XmlWriter always writes a Byte Order Mark (BOM) to the underlying data stream; however, some streams must not have a BOM. To omit the BOM, create a new XmlWriterSettings object and set the Encoding property to be a new UTF8Encoding object with the Boolean value in the constructor set to false.

Create(Stream)

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Creates a new XmlWriter instance using the specified stream.

public:
 static System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ Create(System::IO::Stream ^ output);

public static System.Xml.XmlWriter Create (System.IO.Stream output);

static member Create : System.IO.Stream -> System.Xml.XmlWriter

Returns

XmlWriter

An XmlWriter object.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The stream value is null.

Examples

The following example writes an XML fragment to a memory stream. (It uses the Create(Stream, XmlWriterSettings) overload, which also configures the settings on the new XML writer instance.)

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();

writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab");
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a");
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();

// Do additional processing on the stream.

Dim settings As XmlWriterSettings = New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
settings.CloseOutput = false

' Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
Dim strm as MemoryStream = new MemoryStream()
Dim writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(strm, settings)
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "1-456-ab")
writer.WriteElementString("orderID", "2-36-00a")

CheckCharacters	`true`
CloseOutput	`false`
ConformanceLevel	ConformanceLevel.Document
Encoding	Encoding.UTF8
Indent	`false`
IndentChars	Two spaces
NamespaceHandling	Default (no removal)

WriteEndDocumentOnClose	`true`

Also, XmlWriter always writes a Byte Order Mark (BOM) to the underlying data stream; however, some streams must not have a BOM. To omit the BOM, create a new XmlWriterSettings object and set the Encoding property to be a new UTF8Encoding object with the Boolean value in the constructor set to false.
