Examples

The following example displays the local name of each node, and, if they exist, the prefix and namespace URI.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main()
  {
    XmlNodeReader reader = null;

    try
    {
       //Create and load the XML document.
       XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
       doc.LoadXml("<book xmlns:bk='urn:samples'> " +
                   "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                   "<bk:genre>novel</bk:genre>" +
                   "</book>");

       //Load the XmlNodeReader
       reader = new XmlNodeReader(doc);

       //Parse the XML.  If they exist, display the prefix and
       //namespace URI of each node.
       while (reader.Read()){
         if (reader.IsStartElement()){
           if (reader.Prefix==String.Empty)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("<{0}>", reader.LocalName);
                    }

Remarks

Note

To take advantage of newer features, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see the Remarks section in the XmlReader reference page.
