Dan,



I was primarily answering your question on how to get the document
declaration into an XmlDocument object. If the object is to get it into
the output file, then why not do:



XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(m_FileName,Encoding.Default);

writer.WriteStartDocument();

m_XMLDocument.WriteTo( writer );

Subject: Re: Writing the Xml Declaration Using XmlDocument


I was curious if someone would say that the preferred way is to use
XmlDocument.WriteTo, passing the TextWriter as an argument. Or does it
just not make a difference?

No, there is no better way to add an Xml document declaration to an
XmlDocument object.

What are you looking for?
