XmlReader.BaseURI Property

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, gets the base URI of the current node.

public:
 abstract property System::String ^ BaseURI { System::String ^ get(); };
public abstract string BaseURI { get; }
public abstract string? BaseURI { get; }
member this.BaseURI : string
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property BaseURI As String

Property Value

The base URI of the current node.

Exceptions

An XmlReader method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "An asynchronous operation is already in progress."

Remarks

A networked XML document is comprised of chunks of data aggregated using various W3C standard inclusion mechanisms and therefore contains nodes that come from different places. DTD entities are an example of this, but this is not limited to DTDs. The base URI tells you where these nodes came from. If there is no base URI for the nodes being returned (for example, they were parsed from an in-memory string), String.Empty is returned.
