Examples

The following example displays the text content of each element.

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("book3.xml")) {

  // Parse the XML document.  ReadString is used to
  // read the text content of the elements.
  reader.Read();
  reader.ReadStartElement("book");
  reader.ReadStartElement("title");
  Console.Write("The content of the title element:  ");
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString());
  reader.ReadEndElement();
  reader.ReadStartElement("price");
  Console.Write("The content of the price element:  ");
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString());
  reader.ReadEndElement();
  reader.ReadEndElement();
}

Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create("book3.xml")               
  ' Parse the XML document.  ReadString is used to 
  ' read the text content of the elements.
  reader.Read()
  reader.ReadStartElement("book")
  reader.ReadStartElement("title")
  Console.Write("The content of the title element:  ")
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString())
  reader.ReadEndElement()
  reader.ReadStartElement("price")
  Console.Write("The content of the price element:  ")
  Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadString())
  reader.ReadEndElement()
  reader.ReadEndElement()            
End Using

The example uses the book3.xml file.

<book>
  <title>Pride And Prejudice</title>
  <price>19.95</price>
