Public Property CheckCharacters As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true to do character checking; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

If the XmlWriter object supports character checking, it throws an exception if any characters are outside the range of legal XML characters specified by the "2.2 Characters" section of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation.

Character checking does not include checking for illegal characters in XML names or checking that all XML names are valid. These checks are part of conformance checking and are always performed.
