c# - XDocument automatically indents files on parse and does not remove indent on save -

i seeking regarding file saving of xml file using xdocument (not xmldocument).

so have xml file not have indentation (in fact 1 line). when read xdocument using xdocument.parse (after reading , storing string using streamreader), resulting xdocument indented.

alright, thought fine long if can save file without indentation. however, though have

xmlwritersettings writersettings = new xmlwritersettings(); writersettings.newlineonattributes = false; writersettings.newlinehandling = newlinehandling.none; writersettings.indent = false; 

and pass in when create xmlwriter

using (var writer = xmlwriter.create(u.tofilesystempath(), settings)) {     xd.save(writer); } 

the resulting xml file still has indentation. when debugging on visual studio, noticed writer class xmlwellformedwriter. have result? appreciated.

thank you.

saveoptions available on save() tostring().

    string xmlstring =  @"<top>     <first>1</first>     <second>dude</second>     <third>now</third> </top>";      xdocument doc = xdocument.parse(xmlstring);     doc.save(@"c:\temp\noindet.xml", saveoptions.disableformatting);         // string noindent = doc.tostring(saveoptions.disableformatting); 

output:
