Definition

Provides an interface to enable a class to return line and position information.

public interface IXmlLineInfo
Derived

Examples

The following example parses an XML fragment. Each node is displayed, including its depth, line number, and line position.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample{

  public static void Main(){

    // Create the XML fragment to be parsed.
    string xmlFrag  =
    @"<book>
           <misc>
              <style>paperback</style>
              <pages>240</pages>
           </misc>
        </book>
    ";

    // Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
    XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());

    // Create the XmlParserContext.
    XmlParserContext context = new XmlParserContext(null, nsmgr, null, XmlSpace.None);

    // Create the reader.
    XmlValidatingReader reader = new XmlValidatingReader(xmlFrag, XmlNodeType.Element, context);

    IXmlLineInfo lineInfo = ((IXmlLineInfo)reader);
    if (lineInfo.HasLineInfo()){

      // Parse the XML and display each node.
      while (reader.Read()){
       switch (reader.NodeType){
         case XmlNodeType.Element:
           Console.Write("{0} {1},{2}  ", reader.Depth, lineInfo.LineNumber, lineInfo.LinePosition);
           Console.WriteLine("<{0}>", reader.Name);
           break;
         case XmlNodeType.Text:
           Console.Write("{0} {1},{2}  ", reader.Depth, lineInfo.LineNumber, lineInfo.LinePosition);
           Console.WriteLine("  {0}", reader.Value);
           break;
         case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
           Console.Write("{0} {1},{2}  ", reader.Depth, lineInfo.LineNumber, lineInfo.LinePosition);
           Console.WriteLine("</{0}>", reader.Name);
           break;
       }
     }
    }

    // Close the reader.
    reader.Close();
  }
}
