Summary How to create a XML file with XmlTextWriter?

The XmlTextWriter works like the XmlTextReader with the difference that it writes to an XML file. It is a non-cached fast-forward only way to create a stream. Because of that many RSS classes are written with that class. The methods in the XmlTextWriter class are straightforward so that you can create your xml file with just minutes. In the following example, I have inserted comments above each function so that it is better to understand what actually happens.

Additional information

<%@ import namespace="System.Xml" %> <%@ page language="C#" debug="true"%> <script runat="server"> void page_load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ XmlTextWriter xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(Server.MapPath("XmlTextWriter.xml"), null); // Format the xml automatically to a tree structure xmlWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; // Write root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("CategoryList"); // Write first sub element of root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("Category"); // now start adding elements to the Category element xmlWriter.WriteElementString("MainCategory","XML"); // add the 2nd element to the Category element xmlWriter.WriteElementString("Description","XML Articles"); // add the 3rd element to the Category element xmlWriter.WriteElementString("Active","Yes"); // write end elements xmlWriter.WriteEndElement(); // close writer xmlWriter.Close(); Response.Write("Xml Written"); } </script>
