This example explains the "autoTrim" argument that is passed to a method such as LoadXml2.

Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
bool success;

// If autoTrim is true, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
// For example:
bool autoTrim = true;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

// Output is:
// (notice the SPACE chars before and after "xyz" are trimmed)

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc>
//     <xyz>123</xyz>
// </abc>

// If autoTrim is false, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
autoTrim = false;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc>
//     <xyz>  123   </xyz>
// </abc>

// The EmitCompact property controls whether XML is emitted indented (pretty-printed)
// or compact.  For example:

// Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = true;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
xml.EmitCompact = true;
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc><xyz>123</xyz></abc>

// No Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = false;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
xml.EmitCompact = true;
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>
