XmlTextWriter.WriteStartElement(String, String, String) Method

Definition

Writes the specified start tag and associates it with the given namespace and prefix.

public:
 override void WriteStartElement(System::String ^ prefix, System::String ^ localName, System::String ^ ns);
public override void WriteStartElement (string? prefix, string localName, string? ns);
public override void WriteStartElement (string prefix, string localName, string ns);
override this.WriteStartElement : string * string * string -> unit
Public Overrides Sub WriteStartElement (prefix As String, localName As String, ns As String)

Parameters

prefix
String

The namespace prefix of the element.

localName
String

The local name of the element.

ns
String

The namespace URI to associate with the element. If this namespace is already in scope and has an associated prefix then the writer automatically writes that prefix also.

Exceptions

The writer is closed.

Examples

The following example writes out a book.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

   writer->Formatting = Formatting::Indented;
   writer->WriteComment( "sample XML fragment" );
   
   //Write an element (this one is the root).
   writer->WriteStartElement( "bookstore" );
   
   //Write the namespace declaration.
   writer->WriteAttributeString( "xmlns", "bk", nullptr, "urn:samples" );

Remarks

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlWriter instances by using the XmlWriter.Create method and the XmlWriterSettings class to take advantage of new functionality.

After calling this method you can either write attributes or create content using WriteComment, WriteString, or WriteStartElement for child elements. You can close the element with WriteEndElement at which time an end tag is written out.
