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

Outputs this XDocument to the specified Stream, optionally specifying formatting behavior.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Save ( _
    stream As Stream, _
    options As SaveOptions _
)

public void Save(
    Stream stream,
    SaveOptions options
)

Parameters

Remarks

By default the options are set to None. This option will remove all extraneous insignificant white space, and add appropriate insignificant white space so that the XML is properly indented.

If you want to save unindented XML, specify the DisableFormatting flag for options. 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.
