DataTable.WriteXmlSchema Method

Definition

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema.

Overloads

WriteXmlSchema(Stream)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema to the specified stream.

WriteXmlSchema(TextWriter)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema using the specified TextWriter.

WriteXmlSchema(String)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema to the specified file.

WriteXmlSchema(XmlWriter)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema using the specified XmlWriter.

WriteXmlSchema(Stream, Boolean)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema to the specified stream. To save the schema for the table and all its descendants, set the writeHierarchy parameter to true.

WriteXmlSchema(TextWriter, Boolean)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema using the specified TextWriter. To save the schema for the table and all its descendants, set the writeHierarchy parameter to true.

WriteXmlSchema(XmlWriter, Boolean)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema using the specified XmlWriter. To save the schema for the table and all its descendants, set the writeHierarchy parameter to true.

WriteXmlSchema(String, Boolean)

Writes the current data structure of the DataTable as an XML schema to the specified file. To save the schema for the table and all its descendants, set the writeHierarchy parameter to true.

Examples

The following console application creates two DataTable instances, adds each to a DataSet, creates a DataRelation relating the two tables, and then uses the WriteXmlSchema method to write the data contained within the parent table to a TextWriter. The example demonstrates the behavior when setting the writeHierarchy parameter to each of its values.

Note

This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of WriteXmlSchema For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

Remarks

Use the WriteXmlSchema method to write the schema for a DataTable to an XML document. The schema includes table, relation, and constraint definitions.

The XML schema is written using the XSD standard.

To write the data to an XML document, use the WriteXml method.

Normally the WriteXmlSchema method writes the schema only for the current table. To write the schema for the current table and its entire descendant, related tables, call the method with the writeHierarchy parameter set to true.

public:
 void WriteXmlSchema(System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ writer, bool writeHierarchy);
public void WriteXmlSchema (System.Xml.XmlWriter? writer, bool writeHierarchy);
public void WriteXmlSchema (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer, bool writeHierarchy);
member this.WriteXmlSchema : System.Xml.XmlWriter * bool -> unit
Public Sub WriteXmlSchema (writer As XmlWriter, writeHierarchy As Boolean)

Parameters

writer
XmlWriter

The XmlWriter used to write the document.

writeHierarchy
Boolean

If true, write the schema of the current table and all its descendants. If false (the default value), write the schema for the current table only.
