SaveOptions Enumeration

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies serialization options.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<FlagsAttribute> _
Public Enumeration SaveOptions

[FlagsAttribute]
public enum SaveOptions

Members

	Member name	Description
	None	Formats (indent) the XML while serializing.
	DisableFormatting	Preserves all insignificant white space while serializing.
	OmitDuplicateNamespaces	Removes duplicate namespace declarations. For the duplicate namespace declarations to be removed, both the prefix and the namespace have to match.

Remarks

If you disable formatting when serializing, all insignificant white space in the XML tree is serialized as is. If you do not disable formatting, then all insignificant white space in the XML tree is discarded, and the XML is formatted (indented) as it is serialized.

This type allows you to control how LINQ to XML handles white space when serializing. For more information, see Preserving White Space while Loading or Parsing XML and Preserving White Space While Serializing in the .NET Framework documentation.
