Remarks
The System.Xml.XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in dnprdnext. You can create a validating System.Xml.XmlReader instance by using the System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings class and the erload:System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method. For more information, see Validating XML Data with XmlReader.
This property can be changed and takes effect after the next XmlValidatingReader.Read call.
When EntityHandling is set to ExpandCharEntities, attribute values are only partially normalized. The reader normalizes each individual text node independently from the content of adjacent entity reference nodes.
To illustrate the difference between the entity handling modes consider the following XML:
Example
<!DOCTYPE doc [<!ENTITY num "123">]> <doc> A # </doc>
When EntityHandling is set to ExpandEntities the "doc" element node contains one text node with the expanded entity text:
| 1 |
Text |
|
A 123 |
When EntityHandling is set to ExpandCharEntites, and XmlTextReader.WhitespaceHandling is set to Significant or All, the "doc" element expands the character entity and returns the general entity as a node:
| 1 |
Text |
|
A |
| 1 |
EntityReference |
num |
|
| 1 |
SignificantWhitespace |
|
|
