Parameters

input

The System.IO.TextReader from which to read the XML data. Because a System.IO.TextReader returns a stream of Unicode characters, the encoding specified in the XML declaration is not used by the System.Xml.XmlReader to decode the data stream.

settings

The System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings object used to configure the new System.Xml.XmlReader instance. This value can be null.

inputContext

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

Returns

An System.Xml.XmlReader object to read XML data.

Remarks

By default an System.Xml.XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any external resources such as a document type definition (DTD), entities, schemas, and so on. If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, use the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property to specify an System.Xml.XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.

Note:

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

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

-or-

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

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