Formatting the exported XML

By default, the XML is exported without formatting. If you want to view or verify the exported XML in a text editor, set the Export.XML.IncludeWhitespace property. Turning this property on causes the export process to insert tabs, carriage returns, and linefeed characters into the XML so that it is easier to read. Most of the examples in this chapter were exported with this property turned on.

Do not import formatted XML You should not try to import XML formatted with white space characters, because the white space between data element tags is considered to be part of the element.
