# Serializer.SetOutputProperty Method

Set a serialization property

public void SetOutputProperty(
QName name,
string value
);

#### Parameters

name
  The name of the serialization property to be set
value
  The value to be set for the serialization property. May be null to unset the property (that is, to set it back to the default value).

#### Remarks

In the case of XSLT, properties set within the serializer override any properties set in `xsl:output` declarations in the stylesheet. Similarly, with XQuery, they override any properties set in the Query prolog using `declare option saxon:output`.

#### Example

                    Serializer qout = new Serializer();
                    qout.SetOutputProperty(Serializer.METHOD, "xml");
                    qout.SetOutputProperty(Serializer.INDENT, "yes");
                    qout.SetOutputProperty(Serializer.SAXON_INDENT_SPACES, "1");
