   // Use indenting for readability
   writer->Formatting = Formatting::Indented;
   
   // Write an XML fragment.
   writer->WriteStartElement( "book" );
   writer->WriteElementString( "title", "Pride And Prejudice" );
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   writer->Flush();
   
   // Write another XML fragment.
   writer->WriteStartElement( "cd" );
   writer->WriteElementString( "title", "Americana" );
   writer->WriteEndElement();

   writer->Close();
}

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

public class Sample
{

  public static void Main()
  {
     XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter (Console.Out);
     //Use indenting for readability
     writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
    
     //Write an XML fragment.
     writer.WriteStartElement("book");
     writer.WriteElementString("title", "Pride And Prejudice");
     writer.WriteEndElement();
     writer.Flush();

     //Write another XML fragment.
     writer.WriteStartElement("cd");
     writer.WriteElementString("title", "Americana");
     writer.WriteEndElement();
     writer.Flush();

     //Close the writer.
     writer.Close();
  }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

public class Sample

  public shared sub Main()

     Dim writer as XmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter (Console.Out)
     'Use indenting for readability
     writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented
    
     'Write an XML fragment.
     writer.WriteStartElement("book")
     writer.WriteElementString("title", "Pride And Prejudice")
     writer.WriteEndElement()
     writer.Flush()

     'Write another XML fragment.
     writer.WriteStartElement("cd")
     writer.WriteElementString("title", "Americana")
     writer.WriteEndElement()
     writer.Flush()  

     'Close the writer.
     writer.Close()

  end sub
end class

Remarks

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlWriter instances by using the XmlWriter.Create method and the XmlWriterSettings class to take advantage of new functionality.

This is called instead of Close when you want to write more to the underlying stream without losing what is still in the buffer.
