XmlWriter.WriteComment Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, writes out a comment <!--...--> containing the specified text.

Namespace:  System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub WriteComment ( _
    text As String _
)

public abstract void WriteComment(
    string text
)

Parameters

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

The text would result in a non-well formed XML document.

Remarks

If text is either nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or String.Empty, this method writes a comment with no data content, for example <!---->.

If text contains an invalid sequence of two dashes "--" the XmlWriter can either throw an ArgumentException or insert a space between the dashes "- -" so that the text is a valid XML comment (XmlWriter objects created by the Create method).

Examples

The following example navigates through the stream to determine the current node type, and then uses XmlWriter to output the XmlReader content.

Dim output As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()

Dim xmlString As String = "<?xml version='1.0'?>" & _
                "<!-- This is a sample XML document -->" & _
                "<Items>" & _
                  "<Item>test with a child element <more/> stuff</Item>" & _
                "</Items>"
' Create an XmlReader
Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(New StringReader(xmlString))
    Dim ws As XmlWriterSettings = New XmlWriterSettings()
    ws.Indent = True
    Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(output, ws)

        ' Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
        While reader.Read()
            Select Case reader.NodeType
                Case XmlNodeType.Element
                    writer.WriteStartElement(reader.Name)
                Case XmlNodeType.Text
                    writer.WriteString(reader.Value)
                Case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration
                Case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction
                    writer.WriteProcessingInstruction(reader.Name, reader.Value)
                Case XmlNodeType.Comment
                    writer.WriteComment(reader.Value)
                Case XmlNodeType.EndElement
                    writer.WriteFullEndElement()
