Remarks

In the .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the Create method is the preferred mechanism for obtaining XmlReader instances. The Create method uses the XmlReaderSettings class to specify which features to implement in the created XmlReader object.

Security Considerations

The following are things to consider when using the XmlReaderSettings class.

  • XmlReaderSettings objects can contain sensitive information such as user credentials. You should be careful when caching XmlReaderSettings objects, or when passing the XmlReaderSettings object from one component to another.

  • DTD processing is disabled by default. If you enable DTD processing, you need to be aware of including DTDs from untrusted sources and possible denial of service attacks.

  • Do not accept supporting components, such as NameTable, XmlNamespaceManager, and XmlResolver objects, from an untrusted source.

  • Memory usage of an application that uses XmlReader may have a correlation to the size of the parsed XML document. One form of denial of service attack is when excessively large XML documents are submitted to be parsed. You can limit the size of the document that can be parsed by setting the MaxCharactersInDocument property and then limit the number of characters that result from expanding entities by setting the MaxCharactersFromEntities property.

Examples

The following example preloads the DTDs and entities defined in XHTML 1.0 by setting Xhtml10 on the XmlPreloadedResolver. In this example, the XHTMLPage.html file is a part of the application's XAP package; therefore, we have to pass a fallback resolver to the constructor of the T:System.Xml.Resolvers.XmlPreloadedResolver.

Dim settings As XmlReaderSettings = New XmlReaderSettings()
settings.XmlResolver = New XmlPreloadedResolver(New XmlXapResolver(), XmlKnownDtds.Xhtml10)
Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create("HTMLPage.html", settings)
    Dim document As XDocument = XDocument.Load(reader)
    OutputTextBlock.Text = document.ToString()
End Using

XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Parse;
settings.XmlResolver =
    new XmlPreloadedResolver(new XmlXapResolver(),
        XmlKnownDtds.Xhtml10);

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("HTMLPage.html", settings))
{
XDocument document = XDocument.Load(reader);
OutputTextBlock.Text = document.ToString();
}
