I guess the answer above points to VB.Net and not VB 6.0.  I guess the answer above points to VB.Net and not VB 6.0.

In VB 6.0, you would write the XML Declaration like this:

Dim memory_stream As New MemoryStream
Dim xmlTextWriter As New XmlTextWriter(memory_stream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
' Write the XML declaration.
xmlTextWriter.WriteStartDocument(True)

And if you happen to migrate to VB.Net anytime,  you could use the XMLDocument class's CreateXmlDeclaration method. Sample snippet provided below.

//Create or Load the Xml Document.	
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
//Create an XML declaration. 
XmlDeclaration xmlDeclartion = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0",null,null);

StringWriterWithEncoding in vb net I am using socket to connect to remote host and send the data in   I would like to convert it to String (the xml) and pass it to my class. I am getting an error "StringWriterWithEncoding" not defined. My question is where StringWriterWithEncoding object is   String Dim myxml  =  New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(New StringWriterWithEncoding(sb,  System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)) myxml.WriteStartDocument() myxml.WriteStartElement("REQUEST") myxml.WriteStartElement("START_TASK") myxml.WriteAttributeString("TASK_NAME",  TextBox1.Text) myxml.WriteAttributeString("TASK_INSTANCE_NAME",  TextBox2   sb.ToString() Thanks,  Nirmala library as "StringWriterWithEncoding" unless of course you have created a custom class deriving from StringWriter. I think you need to go back and look at whereever you   New(String,  Encoding) I would guess whoever wrote the code you are using created a class derived from TextWriter. You can simply create the Xml using a memory stream and specify







     
     
Stringbuilder  /  XmlTextWriter does not allow Encoding override .NET Framework VB.net I need to create xml using Windows-1252 encoding. . . So I try. . . Dim sw   to string And System.IO.StringWriter cannot be converted to System.IO.Stream Any ideas ? VB.NET Discussions   JavaScript (1) StringWriter (1) WriteStartDocument (1) WriteStartElement (1) WriteEndDocument (1) MemoryStream (1) Encoding (1) Xml (1) If you want the   property,  here is a .NET 2.0 C# example,  hopefully you can transcribe that to VB yourself: public class StringWriterWithEncoding : StringWriter { private Encoding MyEncoding; public StringWriterWithEncoding(Encoding encoding) : base() { MyEncoding  =  encoding; } public override Encoding Encoding { get { return MyEncoding; } } } then use that class as e.g. StringWriterWithEncoding stringWriter  =  new StringWriterWithEncoding(Encoding.GetEncoding(1252)); using (XmlWriter xmlWriter  =  XmlWriter.Create   stringWriter)) { xmlWriter.WriteStartDocument(); xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("root"); xmlWriter.WriteElementString("foo",  "bar"); xmlWriter.WriteEndDocument(); } Console.WriteLine(stringWriter.ToString()); which outputs e.g. - - Martin Honnen - -- MVP XML http: /  / JavaScript.FAQTs.com /  The XmlWriterSettings class only exists in framework 2.0. - - Göran Andersson _ __ __ http: /  / www.guffa.com keywords: Stringbuilder







     
     
yahoo login through vb.net code Please help me I am a new vb.net programmer  after getting suggestion from vb.net gurus from this forums I have made it and fetching data from yahoo finance   messages. http: /  / help.yahoo.com / l / us / yahoo / mail / original / mailplus / pop / pop-14.html   ' VB     Dim m As MailMessage  =  New MailMessage     m.From  =  New MailAddress("you@yahoo.com",  "Your Name   to persist in your "old ways",  I guess I can't help you! The XmlTextWriter class,  which derives from XmlWriter,  writes XML to a file,  console,  stream,  and other output types   whether it follows the W3C rules. Methods in the XmlWriter also come in pairs; the WriteStartDocument and WriteEndDocument ,  WriteStartElement and WriteEndElement ,  and the WriteStartAttribute and WriteEndAttribute method pairs. Using these methods   lot,  here is the code for a rewritten Yahoo Stock Quote webservice,  using the XmlTextWriter class,  and which does another neat trick that I like,  returns a DataSet directly from the   IO; using System.Text; using System.Xml; namespace YahooMultiQuote { [WebService(Namespace =  "http: /  / localhost / YahooMultiQuote / " )] public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService { public Service1() { InitializeComponent(); } #region Component Designer generated code private IContainer







     
     
projects: A BizTalk project containing: A message schema for the An orchestration A pipeline A VB.Net class library project containing: A custom pipeline component that does the debatching of the incoming message into smaller messages. A VB Net class library containing: The schema classes derived from the xsd in the BizTalk project In addition   shown in the following screensot A dd the SchemaClasses Project Next we create the schema class file from the CompanyStats.xsd. Open a command prompt and execute the following command: Xsd.exe < path_to_CompanyStats.xsd >  -c –l:VB This will produce the CompanyStats.vb class file. This needs to be added to the project so add a new VB class
