XmlReader.Create Method (Stream, XmlReaderSettings, XmlParserContext)
Creates a new XmlReader instance using the specified stream, XmlReaderSettings, and XmlParserContext objects.
Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
public static XmlReader Create( Stream input, XmlReaderSettings settings, XmlParserContext inputContext )
Parameters
- input
- Type: System.IO.Stream
The stream containing the XML data.
The XmlReader scans the first bytes of the stream looking for a byte order mark or other sign of encoding. When encoding is determined, the encoding is used to continue reading the stream, and processing continues parsing the input as a stream of (Unicode) characters.
- settings
- Type: System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings
The XmlReaderSettings object used to configure the new XmlReader instance. This value can be null.
- inputContext
- Type: System.Xml.XmlParserContext
The XmlParserContext object that provides the context information required to parse the XML fragment. The context information can include the XmlNameTable to use, encoding, namespace scope, the current xml:lang and xml:space scope, base URI, and document type definition.
This value can be null.
| Exception | Condition |

| ArgumentNullException | The input value is null. |
By default an XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any external resources such as a document type definition (DTD), entities, schemas, and so on. If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, use the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property to specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials.
 Security Note |
|---|
You can use one of the following methods to control which resources the XmlReader can access: Restrict the resources that the XmlReader can access by setting the XmlResolver property to an XmlSecureResolver object. -or- Do not allow the XmlReader to open any external resources by setting the XmlResolver property to null. |
The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.
