public abstract function ResolveEntity();
Exceptions
Remarks
If the reader is positioned on an EntityReference node (XmlNodeType.EntityReference), if Read is called after calling this method, the entity replacement text is parsed. When the entity replacement text is finished, an EndEntity node is returned to close the entity reference scope.
Note After calling this method, if the entity is part of an attribute value, you must call ReadAttributeValue to step into the entity.
Example
See ResolveEntity (in the XmlValidatingReader class) for a sample using this method.
Requirements
Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family, .NET Compact Framework, Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) Standard
