Load(TextReader, LoadOptions)

Source:: XElement.cs

Source:: XElement.cs

Source:: XElement.cs

Loads an XElement from a TextReader, optionally preserving white space and retaining line information.

public:
 static System::Xml::Linq::XElement ^ Load(System::IO::TextReader ^ textReader, System::Xml::Linq::LoadOptions options);

public static System.Xml.Linq.XElement Load (System.IO.TextReader textReader, System.Xml.Linq.LoadOptions options);

static member Load : System.IO.TextReader * System.Xml.Linq.LoadOptions -> System.Xml.Linq.XElement

Public Shared Function Load (textReader As TextReader, options As LoadOptions) As XElement

Parameters

textReader: TextReader

A TextReader that will be read for the XElement content.

options: LoadOptions

A LoadOptions that specifies white space behavior, and whether to load base URI and line information.

Returns

XElement

An XElement that contains the XML that was read from the specified TextReader.

Examples

The following example loads an XElement from a StringReader in two different ways: preserving white space, and not preserving white space. It then uses a query to determine the number of white space nodes in the resulting XML tree.

TextReader sr;
int whiteSpaceNodes;

sr = new StringReader("<Root> <Child> </Child> </Root>");
XElement xmlTree1 = XElement.Load(sr, LoadOptions.None);
sr.Close();
whiteSpaceNodes = xmlTree1
    .DescendantNodesAndSelf()
    .OfType<XText>()
    .Where(tNode => tNode.ToString().Trim().Length == 0)
    .Count();
Console.WriteLine("Count of white space nodes (not preserving whitespace): {0}", whiteSpaceNodes);

sr = new StringReader("<Root> <Child> </Child> </Root>");
XElement xmlTree2 = XElement.Load(sr, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace);
sr.Close();
whiteSpaceNodes = xmlTree2
    .DescendantNodesAndSelf()
    .OfType<XText>()
    .Where(tNode => tNode.ToString().Trim().Length == 0)
    .Count();
Console.WriteLine("Count of white space nodes (preserving whitespace): {0}", whiteSpaceNodes);

Dim sr As TextReader
Dim whiteSpaceNodes As Integer

sr = New StringReader("<Root> <Child> </Child> </Root>")
Dim xmlTree1 As XElement = XElement.Load(sr, LoadOptions.None)
sr.Close()
whiteSpaceNodes = xmlTree1 _
    .DescendantNodesAndSelf() _
    .OfType(Of XText)() _
    .Where(Function(ByVal tNode As XNode) tNode.ToString().Trim().Length = 0) _
    .Count()
Console.WriteLine("Count of white space nodes (not preserving whitespace): {0}", whiteSpaceNodes)

sr = New StringReader("<Root> <Child> </Child> </Root>")
Dim xmlTree2 As XElement = XElement.Load(sr, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace)
sr.Close()
whiteSpaceNodes = xmlTree2 _
    .DescendantNodesAndSelf() _
    .OfType(Of XText)() _
    .Where(Function(ByVal tNode As XNode) tNode.ToString().Trim().Length = 0) _
    .Count()
Console.WriteLine("Count of white space nodes (preserving whitespace): {0}", whiteSpaceNodes)

This example produces the following output:

Count of white space nodes (not preserving whitespace): 0
Count of white space nodes (preserving whitespace): 3

The following example loads the line information as it loads from the TextReader. It then prints the line information.

TextReader sr = new StringReader(
@"<Root>
  <Child>
    <GrandChild1/>
    <GrandChild2/>
  </Child>
</Root>");
XElement po = XElement.Load(sr,
    LoadOptions.SetLineInfo);
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
    "Element Name".PadRight(20),
    "Line".PadRight(5),
    "Position");
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
    "------------".PadRight(20),
    "----".PadRight(5),
    "--------");
foreach (XElement e in po.DescendantsAndSelf())
    Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
        ("".PadRight(e.Ancestors().Count() * 2) + e.Name).PadRight(20),
        ((IXmlLineInfo)e).LineNumber.ToString().PadRight(5),
        ((IXmlLineInfo)e).LinePosition);

Dim sr As TextReader = New StringReader( _
    "<Root>" & Environment.NewLine & _
    "  <Child>" & Environment.NewLine & _
    "    <GrandChild1/>" & Environment.NewLine & _
    "    <GrandChild2/>" & Environment.NewLine & _
    "  </Child>" & Environment.NewLine & _
    "</Root>")
Dim po As XElement = XElement.Load(sr, LoadOptions.SetLineInfo)
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", _
    "Element Name".PadRight(20), _
    "Line".PadRight(5), _
    "Position")
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", _
    "------------".PadRight(20), _
    "----".PadRight(5), _
    "--------")
For Each e As XElement In po.DescendantsAndSelf()
    Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", _
        ("".PadRight(e.Ancestors().Count() * 2) & e.Name.ToString).PadRight(20), _
        (DirectCast(e, IXmlLineInfo)).LineNumber.ToString().PadRight(5), _
        (DirectCast(e, IXmlLineInfo)).LinePosition)
Next

This example produces the following output:

Element Name        Line Position
------------        ---- --------
Root                1    2
  Child             2    4
    GrandChild1     3    6
    GrandChild2     4    6

Remarks

If the source XML is indented, setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in options causes the reader to read all white space in the source XML. Nodes of type XText are created for both significant and insignificant white space.

If the source XML is indented, not setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in options causes the reader to ignore all of the insignificant white space in the source XML. The XML tree is created without any text nodes for insignificant white space.

If the source XML is not indented, setting the PreserveWhitespace flag in options has no effect. Significant white space is still preserved, and there are no spans of insignificant white space that could cause the creation of more white space text nodes.

For more information, see Preserve white space while loading or parsing XML and Preserve white space while serializing.

Use Parse to create an XElement from a string that contains XML.

Setting SetBaseUri will have no effect when loading from a TextReader.

There is a performance penalty if you set the SetLineInfo flag.

The line information is accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the line information may become meaningless.

LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.

  Child             2    6
    GrandChild      3    10

Remarks

By creating an XmlNodeReader from a DOM document, and then using the XmlNodeReader to create an XElement, this method can be used to create a copy of a DOM document in a LINQ to XML tree.

Use Parse to create an XElement from a string that contains XML.

Setting PreserveWhitespace is not valid when loading from a XmlReader. The XmlReader will be configured to either read whitespace or not. The LINQ to XML tree will be populated with the whitespace nodes that the reader surfaces. This will be the behavior regardless of whether PreserveWhitespace is set or not.

The XmlReader may have a valid base URI or not. If you set SetBaseUri, the base URI will be set in the XML tree from the base URI that is reported by the XmlReader.

The XmlReader may have a valid line information or not. If you set SetLineInfo, the line information will be set in the XML tree from the line information that is reported by the XmlReader.

There is a performance penalty if you set the SetLineInfo flag.

The line information is accurate immediately after loading the XML document. If you modify the XML tree after loading the document, the line information may become meaningless.

This example produces the following output:

<Root> <Child>  </Child> </Root>
Count of white space nodes (not preserving whitespace): 0
Count of white space nodes (preserving whitespace): 3

The following example loads the base URI and line information as it loads the file. It then prints the base URI and the line information.

This example uses the following resource file: Sample XML File: Typical Purchase Order (LINQ to XML).

XElement po = XElement.Load("PurchaseOrder.xml",
    LoadOptions.SetBaseUri | LoadOptions.SetLineInfo);
string[] splitUri = po.BaseUri.Split('/');
Console.WriteLine("BaseUri: {0}", splitUri[splitUri.Length - 1]);
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
    "Element Name".PadRight(20),
    "Line".PadRight(5),
    "Position");
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
    "------------".PadRight(20),
    "----".PadRight(5),
    "--------");
foreach (XElement e in po.DescendantsAndSelf())
    Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}",
        ("".PadRight(e.Ancestors().Count() * 2) + e.Name).PadRight(20),
        ((IXmlLineInfo)e).LineNumber.ToString().PadRight(5),
        ((IXmlLineInfo)e).LinePosition);

Dim po As XElement = XElement.Load("PurchaseOrder.xml", LoadOptions.SetBaseUri Or LoadOptions.SetLineInfo)
Dim splitUri() As String = po.BaseUri.Split("/")
Console.WriteLine("BaseUri: {0}", splitUri(splitUri.Length - 1))
Console.WriteLine()
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", _
    "Element Name".PadRight(20), _
    "Line".PadRight(5), _
    "Position")
Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}{2}", _
    "------------".PadRight(20), _

Examples

The following example creates a DOM document, creates an XmlNodeReader from the DOM document, instantiates a tree from the reader. This code effectively copies a DOM document into a LINQ to XML tree.

// Create a DOM document with some content.

Using nodeReader = New XmlNodeReader(doc)
    ' the reader must be in the Interactive state in order to
    ' Create a LINQ to XML tree from it.
    nodeReader.MoveToContent()

    Dim xRoot As XElement = XElement.Load(nodeReader)
    Console.WriteLine(xRoot)
End Using

This example produces the following output:

<Root>
  <Child>child contents</Child>
</Root>

Remarks

By creating an XmlNodeReader from a DOM document, and then using the XmlNodeReader to create an XElement, this method can be used to create a copy of a DOM document in a LINQ to XML tree.
