Indentation and new line command for XMLwriter in C#

Question

I am writing some data to XML file...but when I open it all the values are in a single line...how can write it in readable format?ie each node in new line and indentation?

Answer 1

Use Settings As follow:

        XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
        settings.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        settings.Indent = true;

        using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
        using (XmlWriter xmlDoc = XmlWriter.Create(memoryStream, settings)){
         // logic here..
        }

This will get you where you want, though, you don't have to use MemoryStream, the importent part is the settings.
