WriteStartElement()

XmlWriter::WriteStartElement(const String&, const String&) method

When overridden in a derived class, writes the specified start tag and associates it with the given namespace.

void System::Xml::XmlWriter::WriteStartElement(const String &localName, const String &ns)

Arguments

ParameterTypeDescription
localNameconst String&The local name of the element.
nsconst String&The namespace URI to associate with the element. If this namespace is already in scope and has an associated prefix, the writer automatically writes that prefix also.

Exceptions

ExceptionDescription
InvalidOperationExceptionThe writer is closed.
EncoderFallbackExceptionThere is a character in the buffer that is a valid XML character but is not valid for the output encoding. For example, if the output encoding is ASCII, you should only use characters from the range of 0 to 127 for element and attribute names. The invalid character might be in the argument of this method or in an argument of previous methods that were writing to the buffer. Such characters are escaped by character entity references when possible (for example, in text nodes or attribute values). However, the character entity reference is not allowed in element and attribute names, comments, processing instructions, or CDATA sections.
