Gets or sets the text encoding to use.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property Encoding As Encoding
public Encoding Encoding { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Text.Encoding
The text encoding to use. The default is Encoding.UTF8.
Remarks
This property only applies to XmlWriter instances that output text content to a stream; otherwise, this setting is ignored. The XmlWriter encodes a buffer of characters at a time, rather than character by character. An exception is thrown when the Flush method is called if any encoding errors are encountered.
This property is overridden by the encoding of the underlying writer. For example, if this property is set to Unicode for a particular XmlWriter, but the underlying writer is a StreamWriter with encoding set to UTF8, the output will be UTF8 encoded.
