Hi there,

I have a little problem using the XMLReader class.

I have a xml file and when I try to read it the xml reader always is "None" after reading. So the object could not be generated.

Could anyone help me to read the XML-file so I have access to all nodes and atrributes?
The programming is in C# by the way.

Here is the file:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <?Pub EntList copy trade nbsp le ge Tgr?>

FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(xmlSourceFilePath); 
XmlReaderSettings settings; 
settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); 
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto; 
settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Ignore; 
reader = XmlReader.Create(fileStream, settings);

The object reader is "None". So object could not initate...

Would be great to get help here.
Thanks in advance.

While it's nice to see the XML you want to read, it would be even better to see the code that reads it. Could you please post that?

What do you mean it is "None"?

it-programmer 27-Aug-13 8:45am

FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(xmlSourceFilePath);
XmlReaderSettings settings;
settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Auto;
settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Ignore;
reader = XmlReader.Create(fileStream, settings);

The object reader is "None". So object could not initate...

Do you mean null? What do you mean by None? Is there an error? Which line are you talking about?
