Remarks

Note:

In the dnprdnext, the recommended practice is to create System.Xml.XmlReader instances using the System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings class and the erload:System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of all the new features introduced in the dnprdnshort. For more information, see Creating XML Readers.

This method does not move the reader.

If the reader is positioned on a DocumentType node, this method can be used to get the PUBLIC and SYSTEM literals, for example, reader.GetAttribute("PUBLIC")
