Remarks

Note

The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0. You can create a validating XmlReader instance by using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see the Remarks section of the XmlReader reference page.

If the reader is positioned on an EntityReference node (XmlNodeType.EntityReference), if Read is called after calling this method, the entity replacement text is parsed. After the entity replacement text is finished, an EndEntity node is returned to close the entity reference scope.

Note

After calling this method, if the entity is part of an attribute value, you must call ReadAttributeValue to step into the entity.
