XmlWriter.WriteEndAttribute Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, closes the previous WriteStartAttribute call.

Namespace:  System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub WriteEndAttribute

public abstract void WriteEndAttribute()

Remarks

If you call WriteStartAttribute, you can close the attribute with this method.

You can also close the attribute by calling WriteStartAttribute again, calling WriteAttributeString, or calling WriteEndElement.

NoteNote:

When you use the XmlWriter methods to output XML, the elements and attributes will not be written until you call the Close method.

Examples

Dim output As New StringBuilder()

Dim price As Double = 9.95
Dim [date] As New DateTime(2004, 5, 20)

Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create(output)
    writer.WriteStartElement("book")
    writer.WriteStartAttribute("pub-date")
    writer.WriteValue([date])
    writer.WriteEndAttribute()

    writer.WriteStartElement("price")
    writer.WriteValue(price)
    writer.WriteEndElement()

    writer.WriteEndElement()
    writer.Flush()
End Using

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()


StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

Double price = 9.95;
DateTime date = new DateTime(2004, 5, 20);

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(output))
{
    writer.WriteStartElement("book");
    writer.WriteStartAttribute("pub-date");
    writer.WriteValue(date);
    writer.WriteEndAttribute();

    writer.WriteStartElement("price");
    writer.WriteValue(price);
    writer.WriteEndElement();

    writer.WriteEndElement();
    writer.Flush();
}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
