Reject angle brackets via System.Xml.XmlWriter

Question

I am writing a string containing XML through System.Xml.XmlWriter. I am stuck using WriteString (), and from the documentation:

WriteString performs the following actions: The characters &, <and> are replaced by &, & lt; and>, respectively.

I would like this to stop, but I cannot find any XmlWriterSettings properties to control this behavior. What are some workarounds? Thank!

Answer 1

Try wrapping your real content between CDATA tags:

<! [CDATA [ this is my content ]]>

Answer 2

WriteString , &, < > XML, .

, , .

XML, WriteRaw.

Answer 3

I am stuck using WriteString (),

I think the root of your problem. Can you explain more about your reason you're stuck with WriteString? My gut - you are using the wrong method for what you want to do
