Public Function GetRemainder () As TextReader

Returns

TextReader

A TextReader containing the remainder of the buffered XML.

Examples

The following example reads the first part of an XML document and then uses GetRemainder to complete reading the document using a second reader.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Xml;

{
   String^ filename = "tworeads.xml";
   XmlTextReader^ reader = gcnew XmlTextReader( filename );
   reader->WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling::None;
   
   // Read the first part of the XML document
   while ( reader->Read() )
   {
      
      // Display the elements and stop reading on the book endelement tag
      // then go to ReadPart2 to start another reader to read the rest of the file. 
      switch ( reader->NodeType )
      {
         case XmlNodeType::Element:
            Console::WriteLine( "Name: {0}", reader->Name );
            break;

         case XmlNodeType::Text:
            Console::WriteLine( "  Element Text: {0}", reader->Value );

Remarks

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlReader instances by using the XmlReader.Create method to take advantage of new functionality.

Because XmlTextReader does a buffered Read, it must be able to return the remainder of the unused buffer so that no data is lost. This allows protocols (such as multi-part MIME) to package XML in the same stream as other things.

After calling this method, EOF is set to true.
