    name As String, _
    pubid As String, _
    sysid As String, _
    subset As String _
)
public abstract void WriteDocType(
    string name,

)

Parameters

  • name
    Type: System.String
    The name of the DOCTYPE. This must be non-empty.

    If non-null it also writes PUBLIC "pubid" "sysid" where pubid and sysid are replaced with the value of the given arguments.
  • sysid
    Type: System.String
    If pubid is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and sysid is non-null it writes SYSTEM "sysid" where sysid is replaced with the value of this argument.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

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

ArgumentException

The value for name would result in invalid XML.

XmlException

name is not valid.

NullReferenceException

The name, pubid, sysid, or subset parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

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.

Security noteSecurity Note:

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