ReadXml(XmlReader, XmlReadMode)

Source:
DataSet.cs
Source:
DataSet.cs
Source:
DataSet.cs

Reads XML schema and data into the DataSet using the specified XmlReader and XmlReadMode.

public:
 System::Data::XmlReadMode ReadXml(System::Xml::XmlReader ^ reader, System::Data::XmlReadMode mode);
public System.Data.XmlReadMode ReadXml (System.Xml.XmlReader? reader, System.Data.XmlReadMode mode);
public System.Data.XmlReadMode ReadXml (System.Xml.XmlReader reader, System.Data.XmlReadMode mode);
member this.ReadXml : System.Xml.XmlReader * System.Data.XmlReadMode -> System.Data.XmlReadMode
Public Function ReadXml (reader As XmlReader, mode As XmlReadMode) As XmlReadMode

Parameters

reader
XmlReader

The XmlReader from which to read.

mode
XmlReadMode

One of the XmlReadMode values.

Returns

The XmlReadMode used to read the data.

Remarks

The ReadXml method provides a way to read either data only, or both data and schema into a DataSet from an XML document, whereas the ReadXmlSchema method reads only the schema. To read both data and schema, use one of the ReadXML overloads that includes the mode parameter, and set its value to ReadSchema.

Note that the same is true for the WriteXml and WriteXmlSchema methods, respectively. To write XML data, or both schema and data from the DataSet, use the WriteXml method. To write just the schema, use the WriteXmlSchema method.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

If an in-line schema is specified, the in-line schema is used to extend the existing relational structure prior to loading the data. If there are any conflicts (for example, the same column in the same table defined with different data types) an exception is raised.

If no in-line schema is specified, the relational structure is extended through inference, as necessary, according to the structure of the XML document. If the schema cannot be extended through inference in order to expose all data, an exception is raised.

Note

The DataSet does not associate an XML element with its corresponding DataColumn or DataTable when legal XML characters like ("_") are escaped in the serialized XML. The DataSet itself only escapes illegal XML characters in XML element names and hence can only consume the same. When legal characters in XML element name are escaped, the element is ignored while processing.

If the XML Schema for a DataSet includes a targetNamespace, data may not be read, and you may encounter exceptions when calling ReadXml to load the DataSet with XML that contains elements with no qualifying namespace. To read unqualified elements, set elementFormDefault equal to "qualified" in your XML Schema as the following example demonstrates.

<xsd:schema id="MyDataSet"
   elementFormDefault="qualified"
   targetNamespace="http://www.tempuri.org/MyDataSet.xsd"
   xmlns="http://www.tempuri.org/MyDataSet.xsd"
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
</xsd:schema>

Note

If the schema for your DataSet contains elements of the same name, but different type, in the same namespace, an exception is thrown when you attempt to read the schema into the DataSet with ReadXml by specifying XmlReadMode.ReadSchema. This exception does not occur if you are using .NET Framework version 1.0.

Note

When you use ReadXml and you set XmlReadMode to Diffgram, the content of the target DataSet and the original DataSet may differ because of how the diffgram is generated and processed. For more information on diffgrams, see DiffGrams.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

To read both data and schema, use one of the ReadXML overloads that includes the mode parameter, and set its value to ReadSchema.

Note that the same is true for the WriteXml and WriteXmlSchema methods, respectively. To write XML data, or both schema and data from the DataSet, use the WriteXml method. To write just the schema, use the WriteXmlSchema method.

Note

An InvalidOperationException will be thrown if a column type in the DataRow being read from or written to implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider and does not implement IXmlSerializable.

If an in-line schema is specified, the in-line schema is used to extend the existing relational structure prior to loading the data. If there are any conflicts (for example, the same column in the same table defined with different data types) an exception is raised.

If no in-line schema is specified, the relational structure is extended through inference, as necessary, according to the structure of the XML document. If the schema cannot be extended through inference in order to expose all data, an exception is raised.

Note

The DataSet does not associate an XML element with its corresponding DataColumn or DataTable when legal XML characters like ("_") are escaped in the serialized XML. The DataSet itself only escapes illegal XML characters in XML element names and hence can only consume the same. When legal characters in XML element name are escaped, the element is ignored while processing.

If the XML Schema for a DataSet includes targetNamespace, data may not be read, and you may encounter exceptions when calling ReadXml to load the DataSet with XML that contains elements with no qualifying namespace. To read unqualified elements, set elementFormDefault equal to "qualified" in your XML Schema as the following example demonstrates.

<xsd:schema id="MyDataSet"
   elementFormDefault="qualified"
   targetNamespace="http://www.tempuri.org/MyDataSet.xsd"
   xmlns="http://www.tempuri.org/MyDataSet.xsd"
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
</xsd:schema>

Classes that inherit from the TextReader class include the StreamReader and StringReader classes.

Note

If the schema for your DataSet contains elements of the same name, but different type, in the same namespace, an exception is thrown when you attempt to read the schema into the DataSet with ReadXml by specifying XmlReadMode.ReadSchema. This exception does not occur if you are using .NET Framework version 1.0.
