xmlreader newline \n instead of \r\n

Question

When I use XmlReader.ReadOuterXml(), elements are separated by \\n instead of \\r\\n. So, for example, if I have XmlDocument representatino of

<

There's a quicker way if you're just trying to get to UTF-8. First create a writer:

public class EncodedStringWriter : StringWriter
{
    public EncodedStringWriter(StringBuilder sb, Encoding encoding)
        : base(sb)
    {
        _encoding = encoding;
    }

    private Encoding _encoding;

    public override Encoding Encoding
    {
        get
        {
            return _encoding;
        }
    }

}

Then use it:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("");

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
XmlWriterSettings xws = new XmlWriterSettings();
xws.Indent = true;

using( EncodedStringWriter w = new EncodedStringWriter(sb, Encoding.UTF8) )
{
    using( XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(w, xws) )
    {
        doc.WriteTo(writer);
    }
}
string xml = sb.ToString();

Gotta give credit where credit is due.
