  How to add element and attribute on one line

  Apr 11, 2012 07:48 PM|LINK

  I need to have an element that looks like this:

  <dateOfBirth format="MMDDCCYY">01011989</dateOfBirth>

  In an XML. I am using the XMLWriter class to create the file.

  I have added attributes on start/End elements so it looks like this:

  <userId>User1</userId> 

      <applicants Version="1">

  <applicant type="Applicant 1">
        <name>
            <first>Mary</first> 
            <last>Leftus</last> 
         </name>
    </applicant>
  </applicants>
  

  But cant seem to get this.

  Just a shot in the dark - but give this a try:

  //Placed right after ending the Name Element
  xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("dateOfBirth");
  xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("format","MMDDCCYY");
  xmlWriter.WriteString(yourBirthDateValue);
  xmlWriter.WriteEndElement();
