XStreamingElement.ToString Method

Definition

Returns the XML for this streaming element, optionally disabling formatting.

Overloads

ToString()

Returns the formatted (indented) XML for this streaming element.

ToString(SaveOptions)

Returns the XML for this streaming element, optionally disabling formatting.

Remarks

Note that when debugging a program that uses XStreamingElement, displaying the value of an object causes its ToString method to be called. This causes the XML to be serialized. If the semantics of your streaming element query are such that the streaming element can only be streamed once, this may cause undesirable behavior in your debugging experience.

ToString()

Source:
XStreamingElement.cs
Source:
XStreamingElement.cs
Source:
XStreamingElement.cs

Returns the formatted (indented) XML for this streaming element.

public:
 override System::String ^ ToString();
public override string ToString ();
override this.ToString : unit -> string
Public Overrides Function ToString () As String

Returns

A String containing the indented XML.

Examples

The following example shows two uses of ToString. The first use preserves white space. The second one serializes the XStreamingElement with formatting.

XElement srcTree = new XElement("Root",
                       new XElement("Child", 1),
                       new XElement("Child", 2),
                       new XElement("Child", 3),
                       new XElement("Child", 4),
                       new XElement("Child", 5)
                   );

XStreamingElement dstTree = new XStreamingElement("NewRoot",
                        from el in srcTree.Elements()
                        where (int)el == 3
                        select new XElement("DifferentChild", (int)el)
                    );

Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting));
Console.WriteLine("------");
Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString());
Dim srcTree As XElement = _
    <Root>
        <Child>1</Child>
        <Child>2</Child>
        <Child>3</Child>
        <Child>4</Child>
        <Child>5</Child>
    </Root>

Dim dstTree As XStreamingElement = New XStreamingElement("NewRoot", _
                        From el In srcTree.Elements() _
                        Where el.Value = 3 _
                        Select <DifferentChild><%= el.Value %></DifferentChild> _
                    )

Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting))
Console.WriteLine("------")
Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString())

This example produces the following output:

<NewRoot><DifferentChild>3</DifferentChild></NewRoot>
------
<NewRoot>
  <DifferentChild>3</DifferentChild>
</NewRoot>

Note that when debugging a program that uses XStreamingElement, displaying the value of an object causes its ToString method to be called. This causes the XML to be serialized.

Examples

XElement srcTree = new XElement("Root",
                       new XElement("Child", 1),
                       new XElement("Child", 2),

                       new XElement("Child", 5)
                   );

XStreamingElement dstTree = new XStreamingElement("NewRoot",
                        from el in srcTree.Elements()
                        where (int)el == 3
                        select new XElement("DifferentChild", (int)el)
                    );

Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting));
Console.WriteLine("------");
Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString());
Dim srcTree As XElement = _
    <Root>
        <Child>1</Child>
        <Child>2</Child>
        <Child>3</Child>
        <Child>4</Child>
        <Child>5</Child>
    </Root>

Dim dstTree As XStreamingElement = New XStreamingElement("NewRoot", _
                        From el In srcTree.Elements() _
                        Where el.Value = 3 _
                        Select <DifferentChild><%= el.Value %></DifferentChild> _
                    )

Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting))
Console.WriteLine("------")
Console.WriteLine(dstTree.ToString())

This example produces the following output:

<NewRoot><DifferentChild>3</DifferentChild></NewRoot>
------
<NewRoot>
  <DifferentChild>3</DifferentChild>
</NewRoot>
