Parameters

    The XmlParserContext object that provides the context information required to parse the XML fragment. The context information can include the XmlNameTable to use, encoding, namespace scope, the current xml:lang and xml:space scope, base URI, and document type definition.
    This value can be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

An XmlReader object to read XML data.
