dotnet xml: EvtEnrollAttr.Value = "3748"
EvtEnrollElem.Attributes.Append(EvtEnrollAttr)

i need the attr value to be <stuff ID = '3748'> in single quote

how can i do that with visual basic.net?

Use EvtEnrollAttr.Value = "'3748'" (single quote's inside double quote)

Use QuoteChar property of the XmlTextWriter class:

ok, i figure out the error and by using single quote inside double quote i
got this value

<EventEnrollment InstanceNumber="'3748'">

it is still not the result that i want i need it to be '3748'

how do you insert it into the specific area of the xml file. i have done it
with DOM, but i just can't get the attribute value to go from double quote to
single quote. here is my code

Dim newEvtEnrollElem As XmlElement = Nothing
Dim str1, str2 As String

str1 = strPath.Substring(0, strPath.LastIndexOf("."))
str2 = str1.ToString.Remove(0, 42)

Dim wrtr As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter("C:\" + str2 + ".xml",
Encoding.Unicode)

newEvtEnrollElem =
CType(xDoc.SelectSingleNode("AutomationControl/EventEnrollments"), XmlElement)

str1 = strPath.Substring(0, strPath.LastIndexOf("."))
str2 = str1.ToString.Remove(0, 42)

If newEvtEnrollElem IsNot Nothing Then
Dim EvtEnrollElem As XmlElement =
xDoc.CreateElement("EventEnrollment")

EvtEnrollAttr.Value = "'\'" + "3748" + "'\'"

Can someone help? is it possible to switch the value from double quote to

Here is a simple example with C#:

XmlTextWriter xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(@"file.xml",
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
xmlWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xmlWriter.QuoteChar = '\'';
xmlWriter.WriteStartDocument();
xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("EventEnrollment");
xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("InstanceNumber", "3748");
xmlWriter.WriteEndDocument();
xmlWriter.Close();

file.xml then has the contents

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<EventEnrollment InstanceNumber='3748' />

If you save with that XmlTextWriter then doing e.g.
wrtr.QuoteChar = "'"C
should suffice. Obviously that will use the single quote on any
attribute, I don't think there is a way to have just one attribute value
quoted with ' and others with ".
