Gets a value indicating whether the current node is an empty element (for example, <MyElement/>).

Syntax

public override bool IsEmptyElement { get; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

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 property enables you to determine the difference between the following:

<item num="123"/> (IsEmptyElement is true).

<item num="123"> (IsEmptyElement is false, although element content is empty).

A corresponding EndElement node is not generated for empty elements.

Requirements
