System.Xml.NameTable

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Add(String)	Atomizes the specified string and adds it to the NameTable. (Overrides XmlNameTable.Add(String).)
	Add(array<Char[], Int32, Int32)	Atomizes the specified string and adds it to the NameTable. (Overrides XmlNameTable.Add(array<Char[], Int32, Int32).)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	Get(String)	Gets the atomized string with the specified value. (Overrides XmlNameTable.Get(String).)
	Get(array<Char[], Int32, Int32)	Gets the atomized string containing the same characters as the specified range of characters in the given array. (Overrides XmlNameTable.Get(array<Char[], Int32, Int32).)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The XmlReader uses the NameTable class internally to store attribute and element names. When an element or attribute name occurs multiple times in an XML document, it is stored only once in the NameTable.

The names are stored as common language runtime (CLR) object types. This enables you to do object comparisons on these strings rather than a more expensive string comparison. These string objects are referred to as atomized strings.
