XmlTextReader.Value Property

Definition

Gets the text value of the current node.

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ Value { System::String ^ get(); };
public override string Value { get; }
member this.Value : string
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Value As String

Property Value

The value returned depends on the NodeType of the node. The following table lists node types that have a value to return. All other node types return String.Empty.

Node Type Value
Attribute The value of the attribute.
CDATA The content of the CDATA section.
Comment The content of the comment.
DocumentType The internal subset.
ProcessingInstruction The entire content, excluding the target.
SignificantWhitespace The white space within an xml:space= 'preserve' scope.
Text The content of the text node.
Whitespace The white space between markup.
XmlDeclaration The content of the declaration.

Examples

The following example reads an XML file and displays each node.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;

   XmlTextReader^ reader = nullptr;

      reader->WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling::None;
      
      // Parse the file and display each of the nodes.

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.
