I generate c# code based on a xsd schema. I want to use the directive standalone in the generated xml. 
How can I append this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Hi,

Which tool are you using to generate the C#?
- Liquid Data Mapper, Liquid XML Objects or Liquid XML Data Binder?

I would suggest moving to the new Liquid XML Objects code generator for C#, this has more flexibility as you can use your own .Net XmlWriter to write whatever you require.

But you can also achieve this with Liquid XML Data Binder as follows...

Using the Default context:
// add custom value to ProcessingInstructions collection in Default context
SerializationContext.Default.ProcessingInstructions.Add("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>");

// set includeDocHeader = false in ToXml
string strXml = elm.ToXml(false, System.Xml.Formatting.Indented, EOLType.CRLF);
Using a Custom Context:
// add custom value to ProcessingInstructions collection in custom context
SerializationContext context = new SerializationContext();
context.ProcessingInstructions.Add("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>");

// set includeDocHeader = false in ToXml
string strXml = elm.ToXml(false, System.Xml.Formatting.Indented, EOLType.CRLF, context);
