Usage
This activity is used to start the export of XML data. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host any amount of sub-activities that will be processed sequentially. The hosted activities are typically CreateXMLElement of CreateXMLAttribute activities, either as direct children but more commonly wrapped within looping activities like ForEach or While.
 | This activity provides the created XML document and the root node automatically to all XML sub activities, so the XML hierarchy will be built in the very way sub activities are nested! |
