Reads XML schema and data into the DataTable.

Overloads

ReadXml(Stream)	Reads XML schema and data into the DataTable using the specified Stream.
ReadXml(TextReader)	Reads XML schema and data into the DataTable using the specified TextReader.
ReadXml(String)	Reads XML schema and data into the DataTable from the specified file.
ReadXml(XmlReader)	Reads XML Schema and Data into the DataTable using the specified XmlReader.

Remarks

The ReadXml method provides a way to read either data only, or both data and schema into a DataTable from an XML document, whereas the ReadXmlSchema method reads only the schema. To read both data and schema, use one of the ReadXML overloads that include the XmlReadMode parameter, and set its value to ReadSchema.

Note that the same is true for the WriteXml and WriteXmlSchema methods, respectively. To write XML data, or both schema and data from the DataTable, use the WriteXml method. To write just the schema, use the WriteXmlSchema method.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

ReadXml(Stream)

Source:: DataTable.cs

Source:: DataTable.cs

Source:: DataTable.cs

Reads XML schema and data into the DataTable using the specified Stream.

public:
 System::Data::XmlReadMode ReadXml(System::IO::Stream ^ stream);

public System.Data.XmlReadMode ReadXml (System.IO.Stream? stream);

public System.Data.XmlReadMode ReadXml (System.IO.Stream stream);

member this.ReadXml : System.IO.Stream -> System.Data.XmlReadMode

Public Function ReadXml (stream As Stream) As XmlReadMode

Parameters

stream: Stream

An object that derives from Stream.

Returns

XmlReadMode

The XmlReadMode used to read the data.

Examples

The following example creates a DataTable containing two columns and ten rows. The example writes the DataTable schema and data to a memory stream, by invoking the WriteXml method. The example creates a second DataTable and calls the ReadXml method to fill it with schema and data.

private static void DemonstrateReadWriteXMLDocumentWithStream()
{
    DataTable table = CreateTestTable("XmlDemo");
    PrintValues(table, "Original table");

    // Write the schema and data to XML in a memory stream.
    System.IO.MemoryStream xmlStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    table.WriteXml(xmlStream, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);

    // Rewind the memory stream.
    xmlStream.Position = 0;

    DataTable newTable = new DataTable();
    newTable.ReadXml(xmlStream);

    // Print out values in the table.
    PrintValues(newTable, "New table");
}

private static DataTable CreateTestTable(string tableName)
{
    // Create a test DataTable with two columns and a few rows.
    DataTable table = new DataTable(tableName);
    DataColumn column = new DataColumn("id", typeof(System.Int32));
    column.AutoIncrement = true;
    table.Columns.Add(column);

    column = new DataColumn("item", typeof(System.String));
    table.Columns.Add(column);

    // Add ten rows.
    DataRow row;
    for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
    {
        row = table.NewRow();
        row["item"] = "item " + i;
        table.Rows.Add(row);
    }

    table.AcceptChanges();
    return table;
}

private static void PrintValues(DataTable table, string label)
{
    // Display the contents of the supplied DataTable:
    Console.WriteLine(label);
    foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
    {
        foreach (DataColumn column in table.Columns)
        {
            Console.Write("\t{0}", row[column]);
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

Private Sub DemonstrateReadWriteXMLDocumentWithStream()
  Dim table As DataTable = CreateTestTable("XmlDemo")
  PrintValues(table, "Original table")

  ' Write the schema and data to XML in a memory stream.
  Dim xmlStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
  table.WriteXml(xmlStream, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)

  ' Rewind the memory stream.
  xmlStream.Position = 0

  Dim newTable As New DataTable
  newTable.ReadXml(xmlStream)

  ' Print out values in the table.
  PrintValues(newTable, "New Table")
End Sub

Private Function CreateTestTable(ByVal tableName As String) As DataTable
  ' Create a test DataTable with two columns and a few rows.
  Dim table As New DataTable(tableName)
  Dim column As New DataColumn("id", GetType(System.Int32))
  column.AutoIncrement = True
  table.Columns.Add(column)

  column = New DataColumn("item", GetType(System.String))
  table.Columns.Add(column)

  ' Add ten rows.
  Dim row As DataRow
  For i As Integer = 0 To 9
    row = table.NewRow()
    row("item") = "item " & i
    table.Rows.Add(row)
  Next i

  table.AcceptChanges()
  Return table
End Function

Private Sub PrintValues(ByVal table As DataTable, ByVal label As String)
  ' Display the contents of the supplied DataTable:
  Console.WriteLine(label)
  For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
    For Each column As DataColumn In table.Columns
      Console.Write("{0}{1}", ControlChars.Tab, row(column))
    Next column
    Console.WriteLine()
  Next row
End Sub

Remarks

The current DataTable and its descendents are loaded with the data from the supplied Stream. The behavior of this method is identical to that of the DataSet.ReadXml method, except that in this case, data is loaded only for the current table and its descendants.

The ReadXml method provides a way to read either data only, or both data and schema into a DataTable from an XML document, whereas the ReadXmlSchema method reads only the schema.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

If an in-line schema is specified, the in-line schema is used to extend the existing relational structure prior to loading the data. If there are any conflicts (for example, the same column in the same table defined with different data types) an exception is raised.

If no in-line schema is specified, the relational structure is extended through inference, as necessary, according to the structure of the XML document. If the schema cannot be extended through inference in order to expose all data, an exception is raised.

Note

The DataSet does not associate an XML element with its corresponding DataColumn or DataTable when legal XML characters like ("_") are escaped in the serialized XML. The DataSet itself only escapes illegal XML characters in XML element names and hence can only consume the same. When legal characters in XML element name are escaped, the element is ignored while processing.
