C# (CSharp) System.Xml XmlTextWriter.WriteElementString Examples

The System.Xml.XmlTextWriter class is a part of the C# System.Xml package library. It provides a way to write XML documents to a file, stream, or some other output mechanism.

One of the useful methods of the XmlTextWriter class is the WriteElementString(string name, string value) method. This method writes an XML element with the given name and value.

Here are some code examples:

Example 1:

XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter("output.xml", null);
writer.WriteStartElement("Person");
writer.WriteElementString("Name", "John");
writer.WriteElementString("Age", "30");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();

This code creates an XmlTextWriter object that writes the XML to an output.xml file. It then writes a element with two child elements, and , using WriteElementString() to set their values.

Example 2:

XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Console.Out);
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.WriteStartElement("Document");
writer.WriteElementString("Title", "My Document");
writer.WriteElementString("Content", "Some text here.");
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();

This code creates an XmlTextWriter object that writes the XML to the console output. It sets the Formatting property to Indented to make the output more readable. It then writes a element with two child elements,
