Create(String, XmlReaderSettings, XmlParserContext)

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Creates a new XmlReader instance by using the specified URI, settings, and context information for parsing.

public:
 static System::Xml::XmlReader ^ Create(System::String ^ inputUri, System::Xml::XmlReaderSettings ^ settings, System::Xml::XmlParserContext ^ inputContext);

public static System.Xml.XmlReader Create (string inputUri, System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings? settings, System.Xml.XmlParserContext? inputContext);

public static System.Xml.XmlReader Create (string inputUri, System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings settings, System.Xml.XmlParserContext inputContext);

static member Create : string * System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings * System.Xml.XmlParserContext -> System.Xml.XmlReader

Public Shared Function Create (inputUri As String, settings As XmlReaderSettings, inputContext As XmlParserContext) As XmlReader

Parameters

inputUri: String

The URI for the file containing the XML data. The XmlResolver object on the XmlReaderSettings object is used to convert the path to a canonical data representation. If XmlResolver is null, a new XmlUrlResolver object is used.

settings: XmlReaderSettings

The settings for the new XmlReader instance. This value can be null.

inputContext: XmlParserContext

The context information required to parse the XML fragment. The context information can include the XmlNameTable to use, encoding, namespace scope, the current xml:lang and xml:space scope, base URI, and document type definition.

This value can be null.

Returns

XmlReader

An object that is used to read the XML data in the stream.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The inputUri value is null.

SecurityException

The XmlReader does not have sufficient permissions to access the location of the XML data.

ArgumentException

The NameTable and NameTable properties both contain values. (Only one of these NameTable properties can be set and used).

FileNotFoundException

The file specified by the URI cannot be found.

UriFormatException

The URI format is not correct.

Remarks

By default an XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any external resources such as a document type definition (DTD), entities, schemas, and so on.

Important

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5.2, no default XmlUrlResolver is provided. If your solution targets the .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later versions, specify an XmlResolver using the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property.

This means that the XmlReader can access any locations that does not require authentication. If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, use the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property to specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

Important

You can restrict the resources that the XmlReader can access by setting the XmlResolver property to an XmlSecureResolver object.

The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Source:: XmlReader.cs

Creates a new XmlReader instance by using the specified text reader, settings, and context information for parsing.

public:
 static System::Xml::XmlReader ^ Create(System::IO::TextReader ^ input, System::Xml::XmlReaderSettings ^ settings, System::Xml::XmlParserContext ^ inputContext);

public static System.Xml.XmlReader Create (System.IO.TextReader input, System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings settings, System.Xml.XmlParserContext inputContext);

static member Create : System.IO.TextReader * System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings * System.Xml.XmlParserContext -> System.Xml.XmlReader

Public Shared Function Create (input As TextReader, settings As XmlReaderSettings, inputContext As XmlParserContext) As XmlReader

Parameters

input: TextReader

The text reader from which to read the XML data. A text reader returns a stream of Unicode characters, so the encoding specified in the XML declaration isn't used by the XML reader to decode the data stream.

settings: XmlReaderSettings

The settings for the new XmlReader instance. This value can be null.

inputContext: XmlParserContext

This value can be null.

Returns

XmlReader

An object that is used to read the XML data in the stream.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The input value is null.

ArgumentException

The NameTable and NameTable properties both contain values. (Only one of these NameTable properties can be set and used.)

Examples

The following example creates an XmlReader object that reads an XML fragment.

string xmlFrag ="<item rk:ID='abc-23'>hammer</item> " +
                        "<item rk:ID='r2-435'>paint</item>" +
                        "<item rk:ID='abc-39'>saw</item>";

// Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
NameTable nt = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nt);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("rk", "urn:store-items");

// Create the XmlParserContext.
XmlParserContext context = new XmlParserContext(null, nsmgr, null, XmlSpace.None);

// Create the reader.
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlFrag), settings, context);

Dim xmlFrag As String = "<item rk:ID='abc-23'>hammer</item> " & _
                                     "<item rk:ID='r2-435'>paint</item>" & _
                                     "<item rk:ID='abc-39'>saw</item>"

' Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
Dim nt As New NameTable()
Dim nsmgr As New XmlNamespaceManager(nt)
nsmgr.AddNamespace("rk", "urn:store-items")

' Create the XmlParserContext.
Dim context As New XmlParserContext(Nothing, nsmgr, Nothing, XmlSpace.None)

' Create the reader. 
Dim settings As New XmlReaderSettings()
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment
Dim reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(New StringReader(xmlFrag), settings, context)

Remarks

By default an XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any external resources such as a document type definition (DTD), entities, schemas, and so on.

Important

If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, use the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property to specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

Important

You can use one of the following methods to control which resources the XmlReader can access:

Restrict the resources that the XmlReader can access by setting the XmlResolver property to an XmlSecureResolver object.

-or-

Do not allow the XmlReader to open any external resources by setting the XmlResolver property to null.

The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.

Public Shared Function Create (input As Stream, settings As XmlReaderSettings, inputContext As XmlParserContext) As XmlReader

Parameters

input: Stream

The stream that contains the XML data.

The XmlReader scans the first bytes of the stream looking for a byte order mark or other sign of encoding. When encoding is determined, the encoding is used to continue reading the stream, and processing continues parsing the input as a stream of (Unicode) characters.

inputContext: XmlParserContext

This value can be null.

Returns

XmlReader
