Remarks
If the XmlWriter object supports character checking, it throws an exception if any characters are outside the range of legal XML characters. Section 2.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation specifies the range of legal XML characters (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml\#charsets).

Character checking does not include checking for illegal characters in XML names, nor does it include checking that all XML names are valid. These checks are part of conformance checking and are always performed. |
