XmlConvert::VerifyWhitespace Method (String^)

 

Returns the passed-in string instance if all the characters in the string argument are valid whitespace characters.

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

public:
static String^ VerifyWhitespace(
	String^ content
)

Parameters

content
Type: System::String^

String to verify.

Return Value

Type: System::String^

Returns the passed-in string instance if all the characters in the string argument are valid whitespace characters, otherwise null.

No other values than the passed in argument should be returned. The characters that are valid for whitespace do not vary between XML editions, so no xml version overload is required.

See XML 1.0 spec (fourth edition) production [3] S for details on the allowed characters.

If the parameter is null, an ArgumentNullException will be thrown.

If any of the characters are not valid whitespace characters, an XmlException is thrown with information about the first invalid character encountered.

The following example uses the VerifyWhitespace method to detect the presence of an invalid character in a value assigned to the start element.
