XmlTextReader.NameTable Property

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Gets the XmlNameTable associated with this implementation.

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

Syntax

C++

Copy

public override XmlNameTable NameTable { get; }

Property Value

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

Remarks

Note
In the .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the XmlReader.Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of the new features introduced in this release. For more information, see Creating XML Readers.

All node and attribute names returned from XmlTextReader are atomized using the NameTable. When the same name is returned multiple times (for example, Customer), then the same String object is 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.
