White space is preserved only if PreserveWhitespace is set to true. The XmlDeclaration of the current XmlDocument object determines the encoding attribute in the saved document.

The value of the encoding attribute is taken from the XmlDeclaration. Encoding property. If the XmlDocument does not have an XmlDeclaration, or if the XmlDeclaration does not have an encoding attribute, the saved document will not have one either.

For example, the following C code. Note that only the Save method enforces a well-formed XML document. All other Save overloads only guarantee a well-formed fragment. The encoding on the TextWriter determines the encoding that is written out The encoding of the XmlDeclaration node is replaced by the encoding of the TextWriter.

If there was no encoding specified on the TextWriter , the XmlDocument is saved without an encoding attribute. The following example loads XML into an XmlDocument object, modifies it, and then saves it to a file named data. The data.

It is unclear how much "everything else" is done in C by pragadheesh.

Perhaps he explores alternatives. I still say introducing another language for the simple purpose of saving an XML string is ridiculous.

Actually open your mind and think about what you're proposing: "Gee, I'll bring in a bulldozer, even though all I need is a trowel, to move this cup full of sand into the garden. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
