System.Xml.XmlReader.ReadContentAsInt Method

Reads the text content at the current position as a 32-bit signed integer.

Syntax

public virtual int ReadContentAsInt ()

Returns

The text content as a 32-bit signed integer.

Remarks

This method concatenates text, white space, significant white space, and CDATA sections, and skips any comments or processing instructions. Entity references are automatically resolved.

If the content is typed xsd:integer, the reader returns an unboxed 32-bit signed integer. If the content is not typed xsd:integer, the reader attempts to convert it to a 32-bit signed integer according to the rules defined by the tp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=4871 recommendation.

The following table describes how this method treats each node type.
