Hello everyone,
Here is my code, and it will always output UTF-16 at XML header even if I set the XML declaration to UTF-8.
Here is my code and output.
My questions,
1. How to make UTF-8 in header other than UTF-16?
2. Is the XML string really UTF-16 encoded or UTF-8 encoded? I think in C#, string is always UTF-16 encoded, why do we need a UTF-8 in header?
[Code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<CategoryList a="12345" b="1d5458cd-a070-40cc-a3f4-cf3c394013cc" c="true" />
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
class Test
{
public static void Main()
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
// Write down the XML declaration
XmlDeclaration xmlDeclaration = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", null);
// Create the root element
XmlElement rootNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("CategoryList");
xmlDoc.InsertBefore(xmlDeclaration, xmlDoc.DocumentElement);
// Set attribute name and value!
rootNode.SetAttribute("a", "12345");
rootNode.SetAttribute("b", Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
rootNode.SetAttribute("c", "true");
xmlDoc.AppendChild(rootNode);
// Save to the XML file
StringWriter stream = new StringWriter();
xmlDoc.Save(stream);
string content = stream.ToString();
Console.Write(content);
return;
}
}
[/Code]
thanks in advance,
George
