Examples

The following example preloads the DTDs and entities defined in XHTML 1.0 by setting XmlKnownDtds.Xhtml10 on the XmlPreloadedResolver. In this example, the XHTMLPage.html file is a part of the application's XAP package; therefore, we have to pass a fallback resolver to the constructor of the XmlPreloadedResolver.

Dim settings As XmlReaderSettings = New XmlReaderSettings()
settings.XmlResolver = New XmlPreloadedResolver(New XmlXapResolver(), XmlKnownDtds.Xhtml10)
Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create("HTMLPage.html", settings)
    Dim document As XDocument = XDocument.Load(reader)
    OutputTextBlock.Text = document.ToString()
End Using


XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Parse;
settings.XmlResolver =
    new XmlPreloadedResolver(new XmlXapResolver(),
        XmlKnownDtds.Xhtml10);

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("HTMLPage.html", settings))
{
XDocument document = XDocument.Load(reader);
OutputTextBlock.Text = document.ToString();
}
