  Removing XML Declaration From Download

  Jan 04, 2013 07:25 PM|LINK

  I have some code that allows users to download an xml file to their PCs.  I am storing the xml in an XmlDocument and saving that via the Response.Output.  Saving the xml in this way seems to be adding on an xml declaration because the xml I am loading doesn't include one. 

  Does anyone know how to get rid of the declaraction that is getting added?

  Response.Clear();
  Response.ClearHeaders();
  Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=pol" + tblPols.Rows[Convert.ToInt16(storeRowID.Value)].Cells[1].Text + ".xml");
  Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
  Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
  Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
  Response.Cache.SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory(true);
  doc.Save(Response.Output);
  Response.Flush();
  Response.End();

  I get the XML that I want tagged with the following header.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

  I do not want this header.

  I do not want this header.

  Hello,

  1) Please use XDocument.Load to load the xml file or string (to load string, please use Parse).

  2) Then re-write to another file with XDocunent's Root property.

  Still not working.

  It seems to be something to do with this line

  Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=pol" + tblPols.Rows[Convert.ToInt16(storeRowID.Value)].Cells[1].Text + ".xml");

  If I make it a ".txt" file instead it will not include the header.  Is there a way to default a filename without using that?

  Hi,

  No.

  I mean that you can just output your xml in the formation of string, and then do saving. Because if in "string" mode, you can remove that headerline.
