System.Xml Namespace

The System.Xml namespace contains classes for reading, writing, and manipulating Xml documents.

Classes

TypeReason
ConformanceLevel

Specifies the amount of input or output checking that the created System.Xml.XmlReader and System.Xml.XmlWriter objects perform.

DtdProcessing

Specifies the options for processing DTDs. The System.Xml.DtdProcessing enumeration is used by System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings.

EntityHandling

Specifies how the System.Xml.XmlTextReader or System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader handle entities.

Formatting

Specifies formatting options for the System.Xml.XmlTextWriter.

IHasXmlNode

Enables a class to return an System.Xml.XmlNode from the current context or position.

IXmlLineInfo

Provides an interface to enable a class to return line and position information.

IXmlNamespaceResolver

Provides read-only access to a set of prefix and namespace mappings.

NamespaceHandling

Specifies whether to remove duplicate namespace declarations in the System.Xml.XmlWriter.

NameTable

Implements a single-threaded System.Xml.XmlNameTable.

NewLineHandling

Specifies how to handle line breaks.

ReadState

Specifies the state of the reader.

ValidationType

Specifies the type of validation to perform.

WhitespaceHandling

Specifies how white space is handled.

WriteState

Specifies the state of the System.Xml.XmlWriter.

XmlAttribute

Represents an attribute. Valid and default values for the attribute are defined in a document type definition (DTD) or schema.

XmlAttributeCollection

Represents a collection of attributes that can be accessed by name or index.

XmlCDataSection

Represents a CDATA section.

XmlCharacterData

Provides text manipulation methods that are used by several classes.

XmlComment

Represents the content of an XML comment.

XmlConvert

Encodes and decodes XML names, and provides methods for converting between common language runtime types and XML Schema definition language (XSD) types. When converting data types, the values returned are locale-independent.

XmlDataDocument

Allows structured data to be stored, retrieved, and manipulated through a relational System.Data.DataSet.

XmlDateTimeSerializationMode

Specifies how to treat the time value when converting between string and DateTime.

XmlDeclaration

Represents the XML declaration node <?xml version='1.0'...?>.

XmlDocument

Represents an XML document.

XmlDocumentFragment

Represents a lightweight object that is useful for tree insert operations.

XmlDocumentType

Represents the document type declaration.

XmlElement

Represents an element.

XmlEntity

Represents an entity declaration, such as <!ENTITY... >.

XmlEntityReference

Represents an entity reference node.

XmlException

Returns detailed information about the last exception.

XmlImplementation

Defines the context for a set of System.Xml.XmlDocument objects.

XmlLinkedNode

Gets the node immediately preceding or following this node.

XmlNamedNodeMap

Represents a collection of nodes that can be accessed by name or index.

XmlNamespaceManager

Resolves, adds, and removes namespaces to a collection and provides scope management for these namespaces.

XmlNamespaceScope

Defines the namespace scope.

XmlNameTable

Table of atomized string objects.

XmlNode

Represents a single node in the XML document.

XmlNodeChangedAction

Specifies the type of node change.

XmlNodeChangedEventArgs

Provides data for the System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeChanged, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeChanging, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeInserted, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeInserting, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeRemoved and System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeRemoving events.

XmlNodeChangedEventHandler

Represents the method that handles System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeChanged, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeChanging, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeInserted, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeInserting, System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeRemoved and System.Xml.XmlDocument.NodeRemoving events.

XmlNodeList

Represents an ordered collection of nodes.

XmlNodeOrder

Describes the document order of a node compared to a second node.

XmlNodeReader

Represents a reader that provides fast, non-cached forward only access to XML data in an System.Xml.XmlNode.

XmlNodeType

Specifies the type of node.

XmlNotation

Represents a notation declaration, such as <!NOTATION... >.

XmlOutputMethod

Specifies the method used to serialize the System.Xml.XmlWriter output.

XmlParserContext

Provides all the context information required by the System.Xml.XmlReader to parse an XML fragment.

XmlProcessingInstruction

Represents a processing instruction, which XML defines to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.

XmlQualifiedName

Represents an XML qualified name.

XmlReader

Represents a reader that provides fast, noncached, forward-only access to XML data.

XmlReaderSettings

Specifies a set of features to support on the System.Xml.XmlReader object created by the erload:System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method.

XmlResolver

Resolves external XML resources named by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

XmlSecureResolver

Helps to secure another implementation of System.Xml.XmlResolver by wrapping the System.Xml.XmlResolver object and restricting the resources that the underlying System.Xml.XmlResolver has access to.

XmlSignificantWhitespace

Represents white space between markup in a mixed content node or white space within an xml:space= 'preserve' scope. This is also referred to as significant white space.

XmlSpace

Specifies the current xml:space scope.

XmlText

Represents the text content of an element or attribute.

XmlTextReader

Represents a reader that provides fast, non-cached, forward-only access to XML data.

XmlTextWriter

Represents a writer that provides a fast, non-cached, forward-only way of generating streams or files containing XML data that conforms to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 and the Namespaces in XML recommendations.

XmlTokenizedType

Represents the XML type for the string. This allows the string to be read as a particular XML type, for example a CDATA section type.

XmlUrlResolver

Resolves external XML resources named by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

XmlValidatingReader

Represents a reader that provides document type definition (DTD), XML-Data Reduced (XDR) schema, and XML Schema definition language (XSD) validation.

XmlWhitespace

Represents white space in element content.

XmlWriter

Represents a writer that provides a fast, non-cached, forward-only way to generate streams or files that contain XML data.

XmlWriterSettings

Specifies a set of features to support on the System.Xml.XmlWriter object created by the erload:System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create method.
