XmlTextWriter.WriteDocType(String, String, String, String) Method

Definition

Writes the DOCTYPE declaration with the specified name and optional attributes.

public:
 override void WriteDocType(System::String ^ name, System::String ^ pubid, System::String ^ sysid, System::String ^ subset);
public override void WriteDocType (string name, string? pubid, string? sysid, string? subset);
public override void WriteDocType (string name, string pubid, string sysid, string subset);
override this.WriteDocType : string * string * string * string -> unit
Public Overrides Sub WriteDocType (name As String, pubid As String, sysid As String, subset As String)

Parameters

name
String

The name of the DOCTYPE. This must be non-empty.

pubid
String

If non-null it also writes PUBLIC "pubid" "sysid" where pubid and sysid are replaced with the value of the given arguments.

sysid
String

If pubid is null and sysid is non-null it writes SYSTEM "sysid" where sysid is replaced with the value of this argument.

subset
String

If non-null it writes [subset] where subset is replaced with the value of this argument.

Exceptions

This method was called outside the prolog (after the root element).

name is null or String.Empty

-or-

the value for name would result in invalid XML.

Examples

The following example writes an XML file representing a book.

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.

This method does not check for invalid characters in pubid, sysid or subset. It also does not check that the internal subset is well-formed.

Important

The XmlTextWriter does not validate any data that is passed to the WriteDocType method. You should not pass arbitrary data to this method.
