XmlWriter.Flush Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
When overridden in a derived class, flushes whatever is in the buffer to the underlying streams and also flushes the underlying stream.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub Flush
public abstract void Flush()
Remarks
This is called instead of Close when you want to write more to the underlying stream without losing what is still in the buffer.
Examples
Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = True
Dim sw As New StringWriter()
Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(sw, settings)
writer.WriteStartElement("book")
writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95")
writer.WriteEndElement()
writer.Flush()
End Using
OutputTextBlock.Text = sw.ToString()
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = true;
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sw, settings))
{
writer.WriteStartElement("book");
writer.WriteElementString("price", "19.95");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Flush();
}
OutputTextBlock.Text = sw.ToString();
