XmlReader.NameTable Property (System.Xml)

.NET Framework Class Library

XmlReader..::.NameTable Property

When overridden in a derived class, gets the XmlNameTable associated with this implementation.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property NameTable As XmlNameTable

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As XmlReader
Dim value As XmlNameTable

value = instance.NameTable

public abstract XmlNameTable NameTable { get; }

Visual C++

public:
virtual property XmlNameTable^ NameTable {
    XmlNameTable^ get () abstract;
}

JScript

public abstract function get NameTable () : XmlNameTable

Property Value

Type: System.Xml..::.XmlNameTable
The XmlNameTable enabling you to get the atomized version of a string within the node.

Remarks

All node and attribute names returned from XmlReader are atomized using the NameTable. When the same name is returned multiple times (for example, Customer), then the same String object will be returned for that name. This makes it possible for you to write efficient code that does object comparisons on these strings instead of expensive string comparisons.
