I am writing and .xml file and am not getting the formatting I would
like. The portion of the code that is giving me problems is as
follows;
XmlTextWriter tw = new XmlTextWriter(f ilename);
tw.Formatting = Formatting.Inde nted;
tw.WriteStartDo cument();
tw.WriteStartEl ement("MyRoot") ;
tw.WriteStartEl ement("MyString );
tw.WriteString( "This is the string");
tw.WriteEndElem ent();
tw.WriteEndElem ent();
tw.WriteEndDocu ment();
tw.Flush();
tw.Close();
The output I get is formatted as follows.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MyRoot>
<MyString>Thi s is the string</MyString>
</MyRoot>
My questions is how do I get the MyString tags and the string itself
to each appear on consecutive lines, i.e.
<MyString>
This is the string
</MyString>

There is nothing in the XmlTextWriter implementation that gives you that
formatting, it does not make much sense to have white space added
automatically to text content in an element.
If you want that you will need your own implementation of XmlWriter or
at least extend XmlTextWriter.

Thank you for your reply. You confirm what I suspected. At this time
I will take the stance that if someone wants it 'pretty' printed they
can format it however they wish when they parse it. Once again, your
reply is appreciated.

Hello All,
I have an asp.net search application that brings up a datagrid of results,
with one of the fields being a hyperlink to an XML document, of which there
are thousands. By clicking this link, the browser loads the XML document in
its raw form.
My question is, how do I use some of these formatting techniques (XSL etc)
to format this XML the way I want to, after the link is clicked on?
A nudge in the right direction would be...

Hi
I'm reading an xml file into an XmlDocument, adding some nodes, and writing
it back out. I would like the nodes I add to assume the same level of
indeting as the rest of the document. (I load the document with
PreserveWhiteSpace = true.)
I thought I could do this by using an XmlTextWriter with Formatting set to
Formatting.Indented, but this doesn't work. The Formatting.Indented on the
XmlTextWriter only indents my output when I...

Hi
When using the XmlDocument.OuterXml property after adding some nodes and
attributes, it returns the entire document correctly, but it's actually all
on one line. How can I format the document that it becomes readable by
humans, with CRLFs and Tabs?
Thanks for any hints. Urs

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
