XmlReaderSettings.Async Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets or sets whether asynchronous XmlReader methods can be used on a particular XmlReader instance.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
You must set this value to true when you create a new XmlReader instance if you want to use asynchronous XmlReader methods on that instance. After the XmlReader instance is created, the Async property is read-only. The default value of this property is false.
This flag is ignored by the XmlReader.Create(XmlReader, XmlReaderSettings) overload. This means that if you create a new XmlReader based on an existing XmlReader, the async behavior depends on the input XmlReader, and you cannot use the Async flag to change the async behavior.
