System.Xml.XmlReader.ResolveEntity Method

When overridden in a derived class, resolves the entity reference for EntityReference nodes.

Syntax

public abstract void ResolveEntity ()

Exceptions

TypeReason
InvalidOperationExceptionThe reader is not positioned on a XmlNodeType.EntityReference node.

Remarks

If the reader is positioned on an EntityReference node (XmlNodeType.EntityReference), if XmlReader.Read is called after calling this method, the entity replacement text is parsed. When the entity replacement text is finished, an EndEntity node is returned to close the entity reference scope.

Note:

After calling this method, if the entity is part of an attribute value, you must call XmlReader.ReadAttributeValue to step into the entity.
