Hi,

I'm using the XmlTextWriter class creating an XML document. In my case
it is necessary that values which are containing only whitespaces are
excatly written into an XML tag. I know that there is the XML attribute
xml:space="preserve". So I tried to add this attribute but nothing
happens. Also I inherited the XmlTextWriter class and overrided the
XmlSpace property. But this didn't work neither. So my question is: Can
I use the XmlTextWriter class for writing whitespaces?

Thanks in advance
Martin

Have you tried using XmlWriter.Create, specifying appropriate
XmlWriterSettings (e.g. NewLineHandling=NewLineHandling.None)?

If this doesn't help, could you post a short but complete program
which demonstrates the problem?
See http://pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for more on what I
mean by that.

I figured it out. It was not the problem of the XmlWriter class. The XML
document was ok. My problem was that I watched it the XML viewer of the
VS debugger. In the moment I'm fighting against the XmlReader class.
