XmlReader::ReadElementString Method ()
.NET Framework (current version)
Reads a text-only element. However, we recommend that you use the ReadElementContentAsString() method instead, because it provides a more straightforward way to handle this operation.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Return Value
Type: System::String^The text contained in the element that was read. An empty string if the element is empty.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| XmlException | The next content node is not a start tag; or the element found does not contain a simple text value. |
| InvalidOperationException | An XmlReader method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message “An asynchronous operation is already in progress.” |
We recommend that you use the ReadElementContentAsString() method to read a text element.
