XmlWriter.WriteStartElement Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, writes the specified start tag.

Overloads

WriteStartElement(String)

When overridden in a derived class, writes out a start tag with the specified local name.

WriteStartElement(String, String)

When overridden in a derived class, writes the specified start tag and associates it with the given namespace.

WriteStartElement(String, String, String)

When overridden in a derived class, writes the specified start tag and associates it with the given namespace and prefix.

Remarks

For the asynchronous version of this method, see WriteStartElementAsync.

WriteStartElement(String)

Source:
XmlWriter.cs
Source:
XmlWriter.cs
Source:
XmlWriter.cs

When overridden in a derived class, writes out a start tag with the specified local name.

public:
 void WriteStartElement(System::String ^ localName);
public void WriteStartElement (string localName);
member this.WriteStartElement : string -> unit
Public Sub WriteStartElement (localName As String)

Parameters

localName
String

The local name of the element.

Exceptions

The 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."

There is a character in the buffer that is a valid XML character but is not valid for the output encoding. For example, if the output encoding is ASCII, you should only use characters from the range of 0 to 127 for element and attribute names. The invalid character might be in the argument of this method or in an argument of previous methods that were writing to the buffer. Such characters are escaped by character entity references when possible (for example, in text nodes or attribute values). However, the character entity reference is not allowed in element and attribute names, comments, processing instructions, or CDATA sections.

Examples

The following example writes an XML node.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   // Create a writer to write XML to the console.
   XmlWriterSettings^ settings = gcnew XmlWriterSettings;
   settings->Indent = true;
   settings->OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
   XmlWriter^ writer = XmlWriter::Create( Console::Out, settings );
   
   // Write the book element.
   writer->WriteStartElement( L"book" );
   
   // Write the title element.
   writer->WriteStartElement( L"title" );
   writer->WriteString( L"Pride And Prejudice" );
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the close tag for the root element.
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the XML and close the writer.
   writer->Close();
   return 1;
}
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample {

  public static void Main() {

     // Create a writer to write XML to the console.
     XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
     settings.Indent = true;
     settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
     XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(Console.Out, settings);

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

     // Write the title element.
     writer.WriteStartElement("title");
     writer.WriteString("Pride And Prejudice");
     writer.WriteEndElement();

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

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

Source:
XmlWriter.cs

When overridden in a derived class, writes the specified start tag and associates it with the given namespace.

public:
 void WriteStartElement(System::String ^ localName, System::String ^ ns);
public void WriteStartElement (string localName, string ns);
public void WriteStartElement (string localName, string? ns);
member this.WriteStartElement : string * string -> unit
Public Sub WriteStartElement (localName As String, ns As String)

Parameters

localName
String

The local name of the element.

ns
String

The namespace URI to associate with the element. If this namespace is already in scope and has an associated prefix, the writer automatically writes that prefix also.

Exceptions

The writer is closed.

There is a character in the buffer that is a valid XML character but is not valid for the output encoding.

The invalid character might be in the argument of this method or in an argument of previous methods that were writing to the buffer. Such characters are escaped by character entity references when possible (for example, in text nodes or attribute values). However, the character entity reference is not allowed in element and attribute names, comments, processing instructions, or CDATA sections.

Remarks

After calling this method you can either write attributes, or create content using WriteComment, WriteString, or WriteStartElement for child elements. You can close the element with either WriteEndElement or WriteFullEndElement. For example, the following C# code:

writer.WriteStartElement("item",null);
writer.WriteString("some text");
writer.WriteEndElement();

Generates the following output:

<item>some text</item>
