XDocument.Load Method (TextReader)

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Creates a new XDocument from a TextReader.

Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static XDocument Load(
	TextReader textReader
)

Parameters

textReader: Type: System.IO.TextReader
A TextReader that contains the content for the XDocument.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml.Linq.XDocument
An XDocument that contains the contents of the specified TextReader.

Remarks

LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader.Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.

Examples

The following example creates a document from a StringReader.

Copy

TextReader tr = new StringReader("<Root>Content</Root>");
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(tr);
Console.WriteLine(doc);
