Re: Writing the Xml Declaration Using XmlDocumentI was curious if someone would say that the preferred way is to use XmlDocument.WriteTo, passing the TextWriter as an argument.  Or does it just not make a difference?

 No, there is no better way to add an Xml document declaration to an XmlDocument object.

 What are you looking for?
