public:
virtual bool IsStartObject(
	XmlDictionaryReader^ reader
) override

Parameters

reader
Type: System.Xml::XmlDictionaryReader^

An XmlDictionaryReader used to read the XML stream.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the reader is at the start element of the stream to read; otherwise, false.

The IsStartObject determines whether it can read an object by checking that it is positioned on an XML element. It also examines the name and namespace of the XML element that the reader is positioned at and compares the values to the expected name and namespace. The expected name and namespace can be set with the following: the data contract name and namespace of the type passed into the constructor, or the rootName and rootNamespace values passed into the constructor (if present).

The following example uses the IsStartObject property to determine whether the start of the data has been found.
