'Declaration
Public Overridable Function ReadToNextSibling ( _
	name As String _
) As Boolean

Parameters

The qualified name of the sibling element you wish to move to.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if a matching sibling element is found; otherwise false. If a matching sibling element is not found, the XmlReader is positioned on the end tag (NodeType is XmlNodeType.EndElement) of the parent element.
