Remarks

XmlReader provides forward-only, read-only access to a stream of XML data. The XmlReader class conforms to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 and the Namespaces in XML recommendations.

The current node refers to the node on which the reader is positioned. The reader is advanced using any of the read methods and properties reflect the value of the current node.

Important noteImportant Note:

You must use Create method to create XmlReader instances.

XmlReader throws an XmlException on XML parse errors. After an exception is thrown the state of the reader is not predictable. For example, the reported node type may be different than the actual node type of the current node. Use the ReadState property to check whether the reader is in error state.

Security Considerations

The following items are things to consider when working with the XmlReader class.

  • Exceptions thrown the XmlReader can disclose path information that you do not want bubbled up to the application. Your applications must catch exceptions and process them appropriately.

  • Do not enable DTD processing if you are concerned about denial of service issues or if you are dealing with untrusted sources. DTD processing is disabled by default for XmlReader objects created by the Create method.

    You can design your application so that the XML processing is memory and time constrained. For example, configure time-out limits in your ASP.NET application.

  • XML data can contain a large number of attributes, namespace declarations, nested elements and so on that require a substantial amount of time to process. To limit the size of the input that is sent to the XmlReader, create a custom IStream implementation and supply it the XmlReader.

  • The ReadValueChunk method can be used to handle large streams of data. This method reads a small number of characters at a time instead of allocating a single string for the whole value.

  • When reading an XML document with a large number of unique local names, namespaces, or prefixes, a problem can occur. If you are using class that derives from XmlReader, and you call either the LocalName, Prefix, or NamespaceURI property for each item, the returned string is added to a NameTable. The collection held by the NameTable never decreases in size, creating a virtual "memory leak" of the string handles. One mitigation for this is to derive from the NameTable class and enforce a maximum size quota. (There is no way to prevent the use of a NameTable, or to switch the NameTable when it is full). Another mitigation is to avoid using the properties mentioned and instead use the MoveToAttribute method with the IsStartElement method where possible; those methods do not return strings and thus avoid the problem of overfilling the NameTable collection.

Platform Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone Silverlight for Windows Phone

  XmlReader does not fail when numeric character entity computation overflows. Instead, an empty string is returned to Value.

Examples

The following example navigates through the stream to determine the current node type, and then uses XmlWriter to output the XmlReader content.

Dim output As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()

Dim xmlString As String = "<?xml version='1.0'?>" & _
                "<!-- This is a sample XML document -->" & _

                  "<Item>test with a child element <more/> stuff</Item>" & _
                "</Items>"
