XmlTextWriter.WriteFullEndElement tags on the same line

I am using an XMLTextWriter to create an XML document dynamically (in VB.Net). I want empty 开发者_Go百科tags to appear like this - <Tag></Tag> and not this - <Tag />

So, I am using WriteFullEndElement to end the element tag. But it is writing out the tag as -

<Tag>

</Tag>

i.e. with a newline character between the tags. The web service reading this XML rejects it due to the newline character.

How do I avoid the newline, and have both the start and end tags on the same line?

Use XmlWriterSettings. Specifically, use the NewLineHandling and NewLineChars.

Following is a simple example of writing XML document in c#:

        XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
        writerSettings.Indent = true;
        writerSettings.NewLineHandling = NewLineHandling.None;


        using (XmlWriter textWriter = XmlTextWriter.Create(this.fileName, writerSettings))
        {
            textWriter.WriteStartDocument();
            textWriter.WriteComment("generated file");
            textWriter.WriteStartElement("Root");
            // Populate data
            foreach (object o in someList)
            {
               textWriter.WriteStartElement(o);
               textWriter.WriteString(o);
               textWriter.WriteFullEndElement ();
            }

            textWriter.WriteFullEndElement ();
            textWriter.WriteEndDocument();
            textWriter.Close(); 
        }

Cheers
