XmlReader.NameTable Property

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, gets the XmlNameTable associated with this implementation.

public abstract System.Xml.XmlNameTable NameTable { get; }

Property Value

The XmlNameTable enabling you to get the atomized version of a string within the node.

Exceptions

An XmlReader method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "An asynchronous operation is already in progress."

Remarks

All node and attribute names returned from XmlReader are atomized using the NameTable. When the same name is returned multiple times (for example, Customer), then the same String object will be returned for that name. This makes it possible for you to write efficient code that does object comparisons on these strings instead of expensive string comparisons.
