The following code example demonstrates setting the indentation level of an IndentedTextWriter. The indentation level is the number of tab strings to prefix each line with.

// Creates a TextWriter to use as the base output writer.
System::IO::StringWriter^ baseTextWriter = gcnew System::IO::StringWriter;

// Create an IndentedTextWriter and set the tab string to use 
// as the indentation string for each indentation level.
System::CodeDom::Compiler::IndentedTextWriter^ indentWriter = gcnew IndentedTextWriter( baseTextWriter,"    " );

// Creates a TextWriter to use as the base output writer.
System.IO.StringWriter baseTextWriter = new System.IO.StringWriter();

// Create an IndentedTextWriter and set the tab string to use
// as the indentation string for each indentation level.
System.CodeDom.Compiler.IndentedTextWriter indentWriter = new IndentedTextWriter(baseTextWriter, "    ");

  ' Create a TextWriter to use as the base output writer.
  Dim baseTextWriter As New System.IO.StringWriter

  ' Create an IndentedTextWriter and set the tab string to use 
  ' as the indentation string for each indentation level.
  Dim indentWriter = New IndentedTextWriter(baseTextWriter, "    ")
