XmlTextReader.Normalization Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to normalize white space and attribute values.

public:
 property bool Normalization { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool Normalization { get; set; }
member this.Normalization : bool with get, set
Public Property Normalization As Boolean

Property Value

true to normalize; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Exceptions

Setting this property when the reader is closed (ReadState is ReadState.Closed).

Examples

The following example shows reader behavior with normalization turned on and then off.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   // Create the XML fragment to be parsed.
   String^ xmlFrag = "<item attr1='  test A B C\n"
   "1 2 3'/>\n"
   "<item attr2=''/>\n";
   
   // Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
   XmlNamespaceManager^ nsmgr = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager( gcnew NameTable );
   
   // Create the XmlParserContext.
   XmlParserContext^ context = gcnew XmlParserContext( nullptr,nsmgr,nullptr,XmlSpace::Preserve );
   
   // Create the reader.
   XmlTextReader^ reader = gcnew XmlTextReader( xmlFrag,XmlNodeType::Element,context );
   
   // Show attribute value normalization.
   reader->Read();
   reader->Normalization = false;
   Console::WriteLine( "Attribute value: {0}", reader->GetAttribute( "attr1" ) );
   reader->Normalization = true;
   Console::WriteLine( "Attribute value: {0}", reader->GetAttribute( "attr1" ) );
   
   // Set Normalization back to false.  This allows the reader to accept
   // character entities in the � to  range.  If Normalization had
   // been set to true, character entities in this range throw an exception.
   reader->Normalization = false;
   reader->Read();
   reader->MoveToContent();
   Console::WriteLine( "Attribute value: {0}", reader->GetAttribute( "attr2" ) );
   
   // Close the reader.
   reader->Close();
}

Remarks

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlReader instances by using the XmlReader.Create method to take advantage of new functionality.

This property can be changed at any time and takes effect on the next read operation.

Note

If the XmlTextReader is used to construct an XmlValidatingReader, to normalize attribute values, Normalization must be set to true.

If Normalization is set to false, this also disables character range checking for numeric entities. As a result, character entities, such as &#0;, are allowed.

The following describes attribute value normalization:

  • For a character reference, append the referenced character to the attribute value.

  • For an entity reference, recursively process the replacement text of the entity.

  • For a white space character (#x20, #xD, #xA, #x9), append #x20 to the normalized value. (Only a single #x20 is appended for a "#xD#xA" sequence that is part of an external parsed entity or the literal entity value of an internal parsed entity.)

  • Process other characters by appending them to the normalized value.

  • If the declared value is not CDATA, discard any leading and trailing space (#x20) characters and replace sequences of space (#x20) characters with a single space (#x20) character.

The XmlTextReader only performs attribute or CDATA normalization. It does not do DTD-specific normalization unless wrapped within an XmlValidatingReader.

Refer to the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation for further discussion on normalization.
