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.
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. When 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.
