.NET Framework Class Library
XmlTextReader..::.XmlLang Property

Gets the current xml:lang scope.

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

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property XmlLang As String
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As XmlTextReader
Dim value As String

value = instance.XmlLang
C#
public override string XmlLang { get; }
Visual C++
public:
virtual property String^ XmlLang {
    String^ get () override;
}
JScript
public override function get XmlLang () : String

Property Value

Type: System..::.String
The current xml:lang scope.
Remarks

NoteNote:

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.

This property represents the xml:lang scope within which the current node resides. For example, here is an XML fragment with xml:lang set to US English in the root element:

<root xml:lang="en-us">

<name>Fred</name>

</root>

When the reader is positioned on the name element, you can use this property to find that it is in the scope of a US English xml:lang attribute.

Examples

The following example displays the xml:lang value for each of the nodes.
