Reads the contents of an element or a text node as a string.

The contents of the element or text node.

Checks whether the current node is a content (non-white space text, CDATA, Element, or EndElement) node. If the node is not a content node, the reader skips ahead to the next content node or end of file. It skips over nodes of the following type: ProcessingInstruction, Comment, Whitespace, or SignificantWhitespace. If the current node is an attribute node, this method moves the reader back to the element that owns the attribute.

The NodeType of the current node found by the method or XmlNodeType. None if the reader has reached the end of the input stream.

Checks that the current node is an element and advances the reader to the next node.

Checks that the current content node is an element with the given Name and advances the reader to the next node.

Checks that the Name property of the element found matches the given string before reading a text-only element.

The qualified name of the element. The text contained in the element that was read. An empty string if the element is empty (<item></item> or <item/>).

Checks that the LocalName and NamespaceURI properties of the element found matches the given strings before reading a text-only element.

The local name of the element. The namespace URI of the element. The text contained in the element that was read. An empty string if the element is empty (<item></item> or <item/>).

Checks that the current content node is an end tag and advances the reader to the next node.

Calls MoveToContent and tests if the current content node is a start tag or empty element tag.

true if MoveToContent finds a start tag or empty element tag; false if a node type other than XmlNodeType.Element was found.

The local name of the element. The namespace URI of the element. true if a matching descendant element is found; otherwise false. If a matching child element is not found, the XmlReader is positioned on the end tag (NodeType is XmlNodeType.EndElement) of the element. If the XmlReader is not positioned on an element when ReadToDescendant was called, this method returns false and the position of the XmlReader is not changed.

Advances the XmlReader to the next sibling element with the specified qualified name.
