I am trying to use XmlWriter to create XML. I need to have the XML Declaration to be
< xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" >. I tried to set the Encoding in the XmlWriterSettings to "ISO-8859-1". I see the Encoding changes to “ISO-8859-1” in the setting but no matter what I do the resulting XML Declaration always looks like < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" >. I don’t know if this is a bug or a feature.
Here is my code:
StringBuilder^ sbXml = gcnew StringBuilder();
XmlWriterSettings^ pXmlSettings = gcnew XmlWriterSettings();
XmlWriter^ w = nullptr;
pXmlSettings->Encoding = Encoding::GetEncoding( 1252 /*"ISO-8859-1"*/ );
pXmlSettings->OmitXmlDeclaration = false;
w = XmlWriter::Create( sbXml, pXmlSettings );
w->WriteStartDocument();
w->WriteStartElement( "root" );
w->WriteEndElement();
w->WriteEndDocument();
w->Flush();
Could anione please tell me how to cretae XML with a declaration of < xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" > using XmlWriter
Thank you.
Reset XML Declaration using XmlWriter

The following solution will also work:-
XmlWriterSettings^ pXmlSettings = gcnew XmlWriterSettings();
XmlWriter^ w = nullptr;
pXmlSettings->Encoding = Encoding::GetEncoding( 1252 /*"ISO-8859-1"*/ );
pXmlSettings->OmitXmlDeclaration = false;w = XmlWriter::Create( sbXml, pXmlSettings );
w->WriteProcessingInstruction( "xml", "version'=1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' >" );
w->WriteStartDocument();
w->WriteStartElement( "root" );
w->WriteEndElement();
w->WriteEndDocument();
w->Flush();
Hope it helps. I was also taken by surprise by XmlWriter's behaviour, see my post http://blogs.geekdojo.net/richardhsu/

You can use MemoryStream and use byte array.

Thanks for the idea. It works with MemoryStream. Here is the code, if someone is interested.
MemoryStream^ strmMm = gcnew MemoryStream();
XmlWriterSettings^ pXmlSettings = gcnew XmlWriterSettings();
XmlWriter^ w = nullptr;
pXmlSettings->Encoding = Encoding::GetEncoding( "ISO-8859-1" );
pXmlSettings->OmitXmlDeclaration = false;
w = XmlWriter::Create( strmMm, pXmlSettings );
w->WriteStartDocument();
w->WriteStartElement( "root" );
w->WriteEndElement();
w->WriteEndDocument();
w->Flush();
String^ s = Encoding::ASCII->GetString( strmMm->GetBuffer() );
