Reads a text-only element.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Function ReadElementString As String
public virtual string ReadElementString()
public:
virtual String^ ReadElementString()
abstract ReadElementString : unit -> string
override ReadElementString : unit -> string
public function ReadElementString() : String
Return Value
Type: System. . :: . .String
The text contained in the element that was read. An empty string if the element is empty (<item></item> or <item/>).
Remarks
This is a helper method for reading simple text-only elements. It calls MoveToContent to find the next content node and then parses its value as a simple string.
Using the XML, <name>Arlene Huff</name>, ReadElementString consumes the element and returns the string Arlene Huff.
This method cannot handle any markup (child elements, comments, processing instructions, and so on) inside the name element, but it can concatenate multiple adjacent text and CDATA blocks.
After calling this method the reader will be positioned on the node following the EndElement node or after the empty element tag.
