XDocument::Load Method (XmlReader^)
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Parameters
- reader
- Type: System.Xml::XmlReader^
Return Value
Type: System.Xml.Linq::XDocument^An XDocument that contains the contents of the specified XmlReader.
One possible use for this method is to create a copy of a DOM document in a LINQ to XML tree. To do this, you create an XmlNodeReader from a DOM document, and then use the XmlNodeReader to create an XDocument.
LINQ to XML's loading functionality is built upon XmlReader. Therefore, you might catch any exceptions that are thrown by the XmlReader::Create overload methods and the XmlReader methods that read and parse the document.
The following example creates a DOM document, creates an XmlNodeReader from the DOM document, creates an XDocument using the XmlNodeReader.
This example produces the following output:
<Root>
<Child>child contents</Child>
</Root>
