This method allows you add additional features to an underlying XmlReader object. The underlying XmlReader object can be another XmlReader object created by the Create method, or an XmlReader object created using one of the concrete XmlReader implementations.
The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.
Version Notes
Windows Phone
Wrapping a custom reader is allowed in Windows Phone. That is, you can create a custom reader with your own implementations of the required functions, and then pass the custom reader as input to Create. You must set the ConformanceLevel in XmlReaderSettings to Auto when wrapping a custom reader.
