XML file

[R.A.F.]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a particular method to create a blank
XML file, with only following lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Settings>
</Settings>

where <Settingsis the root node.

thx.

While I personally prefer it when people use their real names, I don't
really have anything against pseudonyms. I certainly don't think it's
worth telling people off about.

I hate to point out the obvious, but why not just do this:

string xml = "<?xml version="1.0"
encoding=\"utf-8\"?><Settings></Settings>";

And then just save that to a file?

NPI hate to point out the obvious, but...
yup -first thing that occurred to me too (see post)

RAFi was looking for something better formatted
I realise that you're sorted, but for completeness there is an
XmlWriterSettings object that controls this type of thing.

It happen frequently that people use usenet under initials
or other forms for anonymity.

Not a problem (as long as they do not behave in such a bad way
that it becomes relevant to know who they really are).

I didn't see anyone mention:
Because that won't create a file - it will just load a DOM. Yes you
could call Save(), but if you're going down the literal route, then
the DOM is unnecessary - just use:
File.WriteAllText(path, "<?xml......>");
which both Nicholas any myself hinted at.

Hi Nicholas,

i do not do that, because those XML files are built in several steps.
moreover, such a string is good, but once i will need to use the other
XML methods and it's better (from my point of view :-) to standardize my
process.
