XmlReader.BaseURI Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, gets the base URI of the current node.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property BaseURI As String
public abstract string BaseURI { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
The base URI of the current node.

Remarks

A networked XML document is comprised of chunks of data aggregated using various W3C standard inclusion mechanisms and therefore contains nodes that come from different places. DTD entities are an example of this, but this is not limited to DTDs. The base URI tells you where these nodes came from. If there is no base URI for the nodes being returned (for example, they were parsed from an in-memory string), String.Empty is returned.
