    Unhappy The strange case of the missing XmlTextWriter

    Well this is strange, VS 2017 c#

    Added using System.xml and then proceeded to try and declare a new XmlTextWriter.

    It simply ain't there Kids, someone stole it, MS changed it somehow, I'm confused.

    Tried the References -> add references -> system.xml and same result.

    Anyone else struck this issue.

    Well according to the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ramework-4.7.1) they recommend that
    Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you use the XmlWriter class instead.

    The documentation does indicate that the XmlTextWriter class should still be available, even in .NET 4.7.1, but I can't even see it in the Object Explorer. Of course, anything that they have been recommending not be used ever since .NET 2.0, which is over a decade old, should not be being added to new code and only supported in existing code that was written all those years ago.
