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.
For example, suppose you have the following XML input:
Example
<a name="bob" age="123"> <x/>abc<y/> </a> <b> ... </b>
If the reader is positioned on the "<a>" node or any of its attributes, calling Skip positions the reader to the "<b>" node.
If the reader is positioned on a leaf node already (such as element "x" or the text node "abc"), calling Skip is the same as calling XmlNodeReader.Read.
This method checks for well-formed XML.
