Re: XmlTextWriter.WriteString and quoted chars

Sam,

The WriteRaw method on the XmlTextWrite will write out the string as you are
you are passing in, i.e. without making any conversions:

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter( new StringBuilder() );
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter( sw );
xw.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
xw.WriteStartDocument();
xw.WriteStartElement( "", "foo", "");
xw.WriteRaw( " raw & raw " );
xw.WriteEndElement();
Console.WriteLine( sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString() );

prints out:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<foo> raw &amp; raw </foo>
