This method sets the output stream for the writer.

Syntax

HRESULT SetOutput (
  IUnknown* pOutput
);

This method returns S_OK if no error is generated.

IXmlWriter can accept several kinds of output stream:

A class derived from ISequentialStream
The writer will write the output to the provided ISequentialStream by using the default UTF-8 encoding.
A class derived from IStream
The writer will write the output to the provided IStream by using the default UTF-8 encoding.
IXmlWriterOutput
The writer will write the output to the stream and encoding specified by the IXmlWriterOutput object.
NULL
This resets the writer, releasing the previously set output object. This forces the writer to flush all the data into the stream, but does not force the stream itself to flush.

Use the Flush method to force the writer to write out all the buffered data to the output stream.
