XML file output from XmlWriter

XmlWriter in Visual Studio 2012,

How can I output the following:

<Amt>
    <InstdAmt Ccy=”EUR”>340.00</InstdAmt>
</Amt>

The following does not work:

const string cur = "Ccy=" + @"""EUR";
writer.WriteStartElement("Amt");
writer.WriteElementString("InstdAmt", cur, "340.00");              
writer.WriteEndElement();

When you want to write node attributes, you can use WriteAttributeString(string localName, string value).

This should produce the desired output

writer.WriteStartElement("Amt");

  writer.WriteStartElement("InstdAmt");
  writer.WriteAttributeString("Ccy", "EUR");
  writer.WriteString("340.00");
  writer.WriteEndElement();

writer.WriteEndElement();

See the XmlTextWriter reference for more options.

You have to call Close() method of the XmlWriter object in order to write to the file:

writer.Close()
