XmlDocument::Load Method (Stream)

Loads the XML document from the specified stream.

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

public:
virtual void Load(
	Stream^ inStream
)

Parameters

inStream
Type: System.IO::Stream
The stream containing the XML document to load.

ExceptionCondition
XmlException

There is a load or parse error in the XML. In this case, a FileNotFoundException is raised.

NoteNote

The Load method always preserves significant white space. The PreserveWhitespace property determines whether or not insignificant white space, that is white space in element content, is preserved. The default is false; white space in element content is not preserved.

If you want validation to occur, you can create a validating XmlReader instance by using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see Validating XML Data with XmlReader.

This method is a Microsoft extension to the Document Object Model (DOM).
