Additional information

<%@ import namespace="System.Xml" %> <%@ page language="C#" debug="true"%> <script runat="server"> void page_load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ XmlTextWriter xmlWriter; xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(Server.MapPath("XmlTextWriterWithWriteFullEndElement.xml"), null); // Format the xml automatically to a tree structure xmlWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; // Write xml declaration xmlWriter.WriteStartDocument(); // Write root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("CategoryList"); // Write first sub element of root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("Category"); // Write ID Attribute // First parameter is the attribute name and the second is the value xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("ID","0"); // write full end elements xmlWriter.WriteFullEndElement(); // close writer xmlWriter.Close(); Response.Write("Xml Written"); } </script>
