Creating XmlReader Objects
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
You create XmlReader instances by using the Create method. The XmlReaderSettings class specifies the set of features you want to enable on the XmlReader object.
XmlReaderSettings Class Overview
To enable or disable features of the reader, like specifying a resolver for the reader or enabling DTD processing, you set the properties on the XmlReaderSettings class. The XmlReaderSettings object is then passed to the Create method.
