This method is functionally equivalent executing the following::name XPath expression from the current node. It provides a quick way to find a named element in the XML document. It advances the reader to the next following element that matches the specified name and returns true if a matching element is found. Using the example below, the reader would read to the first instance of the specified element while reading forward.
<!--"sample.xml"-->
<?xml version="1.0"
<items>
<item xmls="urn:1"/>
</items>
</xml>
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("sample.xml"); reader.ReadToFollowing("item");
This method can be called on all node types.
