Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

Source:: XmlWriter.cs

When overridden in a derived class, writes out the attribute with the specified prefix, local name, namespace URI, and value.

public:
 void WriteAttributeString(System::String ^ prefix, System::String ^ localName, System::String ^ ns, System::String ^ value);

public void WriteAttributeString (string prefix, string localName, string ns, string value);

public void WriteAttributeString (string? prefix, string localName, string? ns, string? value);

member this.WriteAttributeString : string * string * string * string -> unit

Public Sub WriteAttributeString (prefix As String, localName As String, ns As String, value As String)

Parameters

prefix: String

The namespace prefix of the attribute.

localName: String

The local name of the attribute.

ns: String

The namespace URI of the attribute.

value: String

The value of the attribute.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The state of writer is not WriteState.Element or writer is closed.

-or-

An XmlWriter method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "An asynchronous operation is already in progress."

ArgumentException

The xml:space or xml:lang attribute value is invalid.

XmlException

The localName or ns is null.

Examples

The following example uses the WriteAttributeString method to write a namespace declaration.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
void main()
{
   XmlWriter^ writer = nullptr;
   writer = XmlWriter::Create( L"sampledata.xml" );
   
   // Write the root element.
   writer->WriteStartElement( L"book" );
   
   // Write the xmlns:bk="urn:book" namespace declaration.
   writer->WriteAttributeString( L"xmlns", L"bk", nullptr, L"urn:book" );
   
   // Write the bk:ISBN="1-800-925" attribute.
   writer->WriteAttributeString( L"ISBN", L"urn:book", L"1-800-925" );
   writer->WriteElementString( L"price", L"19.95" );
   
   // Write the close tag for the root element.
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the XML to file and close the writer.
   writer->Flush();
   writer->Close();
}

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample {

  public static void Main() {

     XmlWriter writer = null;

     writer = XmlWriter.Create("sampledata.xml");

     // Write the root element.
     writer.WriteStartElement("book");

     // Write the xmlns:bk="urn:book" namespace declaration.
     writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns","bk", null,"urn:book");

     // Write the bk:ISBN="1-800-925" attribute.
     writer.WriteAttributeString("ISBN", "urn:book", "1-800-925");

     writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95");

     // Write the close tag for the root element.
     writer.WriteEndElement();

     // Write the XML to file and close the writer.
     writer.Flush();
     writer.Close();
  }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

Public Class Sample 

  Public Shared Sub Main() 
 
     Dim writer As XmlWriter = Nothing

     writer = XmlWriter.Create("sampledata.xml")
        
     ' Write the root element.
     writer.WriteStartElement("book")

     ' Write the xmlns:bk="urn:book" namespace declaration.
     writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns","bk", Nothing,"urn:book")
  
     ' Write the bk:ISBN="1-800-925" attribute.
     writer.WriteAttributeString("ISBN", "urn:book", "1-800-925")

     writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95")

     ' Write the close tag for the root element.
     writer.WriteEndElement()
             
     ' Write the XML to file and close the writer.
     writer.Flush()
     writer.Close()  

  End Sub
End Class

Remarks

This method writes out the attribute with a user defined namespace prefix and associates it with the given namespace. If the prefix is "xmlns" then this method also treats this as a namespace declaration and associates the declared prefix with the namespace URI provided in the given attribute value. In this case the ns argument can be null.

WriteAttributeString does the following:

If the attribute value includes double or single quotes, they are replaced with " and ' respectively.
If writing an xml:space attribute, the writer verifies the attribute value is valid. (Valid values are preserve or default.)
If writing an xml:lang attribute, the writer does not verify that the attribute value is valid according to the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation.

For the asynchronous version of this method, see WriteAttributeStringAsync.
