How to add a xml file header with vb.net

Question

I want to add xml declaration like

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?

this text in my xml. How to do it with vb.net ? any idea?

Why do you need to add a header? Would it not be easier to create a document, then add nodes to it? In this case, it will already have the header in place. — Victor Zakharov

Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
xmlDoc.AppendChild(.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", Nothing))
