WriteXml(XmlWriter, XmlWriteMode)

Source:
DataSet.cs
Source:
DataSet.cs
Source:
DataSet.cs

Writes the current data, and optionally the schema, for the DataSet using the specified XmlWriter and XmlWriteMode. To write the schema, set the value for the mode parameter to WriteSchema.

public:
 void WriteXml(System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ writer, System::Data::XmlWriteMode mode);
public void WriteXml (System.Xml.XmlWriter? writer, System.Data.XmlWriteMode mode);
public void WriteXml (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer, System.Data.XmlWriteMode mode);
member this.WriteXml : System.Xml.XmlWriter * System.Data.XmlWriteMode -> unit
Public Sub WriteXml (writer As XmlWriter, mode As XmlWriteMode)

Parameters

writer
XmlWriter

The XmlWriter with which to write.

mode
XmlWriteMode

One of the XmlWriteMode values.

Examples

The following example creates a System.IO.FileStream object that is used to create a new XmlTextWriter. The XmlTextWriter object is used with the WriteXml method to write an XML document.

private void WriteXmlToFile(DataSet thisDataSet)
{
    if (thisDataSet == null) { return; }

    // Create a file name to write to.
    string filename = "XmlDoc.xml";

    // Create the FileStream to write with.
    System.IO.FileStream stream = new System.IO.FileStream
        (filename, System.IO.FileMode.Create);

    // Create an XmlTextWriter with the fileStream.
    System.Xml.XmlTextWriter xmlWriter =
        new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(stream,
        System.Text.Encoding.Unicode);

    // Write to the file with the WriteXml method.
    thisDataSet.WriteXml(xmlWriter);
    xmlWriter.Close();
}

Private Sub WriteXmlToFile(thisDataSet As DataSet)
    If thisDataSet Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If

    ' Create a file name to write to.
    Dim filename As String = "XmlDoc.xml"

    ' Create the FileStream to write with.
    Dim stream As New System.IO.FileStream _
       (filename, System.IO.FileMode.Create)

    ' Create an XmlTextWriter with the fileStream.
    Dim xmlWriter As New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter _
       (stream, System.Text.Encoding.Unicode)

    ' Write to the file with the WriteXml method.
    thisDataSet.WriteXml(xmlWriter)
    xmlWriter.Close()
End Sub

Remarks

The WriteXml method provides a way to write either data only, or both data and schema from a DataSet into an XML document, whereas the WriteXmlSchema method writes only the schema. To write both data and schema, set the mode parameter to WriteSchema.

Note that the same is true for the ReadXml and ReadXmlSchema methods, respectively. To read XML data, or both schema and data into the DataSet, use the ReadXml method. To read just the schema, use the ReadXmlSchema method.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

Examples

The following example first creates a simple DataSet with one DataTable, two columns, and ten rows. The DataSet schema and data are written to disk by invoking the WriteXml method. A second DataSet is created and the ReadXml method is used to fill it with schema and data.

private void DemonstrateReadWriteXMLDocumentWithFileStream()

    DataSet originalDataSet = new DataSet("dataSet");
    DataTable table = new DataTable("table");

    idColumn.AutoIncrement= true;

    DataColumn itemColumn = new DataColumn("item");
    table.Columns.Add(idColumn);
    table.Columns.Add(itemColumn);
    originalDataSet.Tables.Add(table);
    // Add ten rows.

    DataRow newRow;

        newRow = table.NewRow();
        newRow["item"]= "item " + i;
        table.Rows.Add(newRow);
    }
    originalDataSet.AcceptChanges();

    // Print out values of each table in the DataSet
    // using the function defined below.
    PrintValues(originalDataSet, "Original DataSet");

    // Write the schema and data to XML file with FileStream.
    string xmlFilename = "XmlDocument.xml";
    System.IO.FileStream streamWrite = new System.IO.FileStream
        (xmlFilename, System.IO.FileMode.Create);

    // Use WriteXml to write the XML document.
    originalDataSet.WriteXml(streamWrite);

    // Close the FileStream.
    streamWrite.Close();

    // Dispose of the original DataSet.
    originalDataSet.Dispose();
    // Create a new DataSet.

    // Read the XML document back in.
    // Create new FileStream to read schema with.

        (xmlFilename,System.IO.FileMode.Open);
    newDataSet.ReadXml(streamRead);

    // Print out values of each table in the DataSet
    // using the function defined below.
    PrintValues(newDataSet,"New DataSet");
