XMLw Configuration

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

XMLw Configuration Settings


	Charset: Specifies the charset used when encoding data. Set this value to specify the charset that is used when encoding data, as well as the encoding attribute in set when WriteXMLDeclaration is called. The default value is "utf-8".
	CloseStream: If true, the component will close the output stream. This setting is true by default. Therefore, by default, the output stream will be closed when Close is called. In order to keep the stream open, set this to false.
	QuoteChar: Quote character to use for attribute values. By default, the component will use double quotes around attribute values. This property can be used to specify a different character such as a single quote.

Base Configuration Settings

GUIAvailable: Tells the component whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

UseBackgroundThread: Whether threads created by the component are background threads.

If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's IsBackground property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False.
