XmlSerializationWriter.WriteNullTagEncoded Method (String, String)

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

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Writes an XML element with an xsi:nil='true' attribute.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Sub WriteNullTagEncoded ( _
    name As String, _
    ns As String _
)

protected void WriteNullTagEncoded(
    string name,
    string ns
)

Parameters

  • name
    Type: System.String
    The local name of the XML element to write.
  • ns
    Type: System.String
    The namespace of the XML element to write.

Remarks

The protected members of XmlSerializationWriter are intended for use only by derived classes that are used internally within the .NET Framework XML serialization infrastructure.

When set to true, the nil attribute from the XML Schema instance namespace (abbreviated xsi) indicates a null value.

The WriteNullTagEncoded method is called only when writing SOAP-encoded XML, as described in Section 5 of the SOAP 1.1 specification.
