Examples

The following example writes a string using the WriteRaw method.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   // Create a writer that outputs to the console.
   XmlTextWriter^ writer = gcnew XmlTextWriter( Console::Out );
   writer->Formatting = Formatting::Indented;
   
   // Write the root element.
   writer->WriteStartElement( "Items" );
   
   // Write a string using WriteRaw. Note that the special
   // characters are not escaped.
   writer->WriteStartElement( "Item" );
   writer->WriteString( "Write unescaped text:  " );
   writer->WriteRaw( "this & that" );
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the same string using WriteString. Note that the 
   // special characters are escaped.
   writer->WriteStartElement( "Item" );
   writer->WriteString( "Write the same string using WriteString:  " );
   writer->WriteString( "this & that" );
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the close tag for the root element.
   writer->WriteEndElement();
   
   // Write the XML to file and close the writer.
   writer->Close();
}

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

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main()
  {
     // Create a writer that outputs to the console.
     XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter (Console.Out);
     writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;

     // Write the root element.
     writer.WriteStartElement("Items");

     // Write a string using WriteRaw. Note that the special
     // characters are not escaped.
     writer.WriteStartElement("Item");
     writer.WriteString("Write unescaped text:  ");
     writer.WriteRaw("this & that");
     writer.WriteEndElement();

     // Write the same string using WriteString. Note that the
     // special characters are escaped.
     writer.WriteStartElement("Item");
     writer.WriteString("Write the same string using WriteString:  ");
     writer.WriteString("this & that");
     writer.WriteEndElement();

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

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