Removing Byte Order Mark (BOM) with LINQ

 

To remove the byte order mark while using LINQ-to-XML, we must specify the encoding to be

used with an XML writer. The following code will write the XDocument file to disk

 

[Sample]

XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding(false);

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("FileName.xml", settings))
{
      file.Save(writer);
}
