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

Outputs this XDocument to the specified Stream.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Save ( _
    stream As Stream _
)

public void Save(
    Stream stream
)

Parameters

Remarks

The serialized XML will be indented. All insignificant white space will be removed, and additional white space will be added so that the XML will be properly indented. The behavior of this method is that insignificant white space will not be preserved.

If you want to control white space, use the overload of Save that takes SaveOptions as a parameter. Use the DisableFormatting option to save unindented XML. This will cause the writer to write all white spaces exactly as represented in the XML tree.

Use OmitDuplicateNamespaces option if you want to remove duplicate namespace declarations.

For an example of how to save a stream to an Isolated Storage, see How to: Save to and Load from Isolated Storage with LINQ to XML.
