Using XmlTextReader With a String

Pattern for Using XmlTextReader with a string. This is useful for testing your Xml Parsing

//Create the XML fragment to be parsed.
string xmlFrag =
  "<Transport Label=\"TS1\" TransportId=\"1\" 
OrigNetworkId=\"1\" >" +
  "  <Metadata>" +
  "    <Id>c98dced0-1efc-48c3-aa37-cae5141c6615</Id>" +
  "    <ProfileDescription>Test TS</ProfileDescription>" +
  "  </Metadata>" +
  "</Transport>";

// Create a XmlTextReader that will read from an Xml string
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(
  xmlFrag, XmlNodeType.Element, 
  new XmlParserContext(null, new XmlNamespaceManager(
new NameTable()), 
  null, XmlSpace.Default)); // <= XXX
 
// Can set how to handle whitespace here!
//xmlReader.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.All; 
Transport transport = XmlProcessor.ReadTransport(xmlReader) ;
//Close the reader.
xmlReader.Close();

A longer version for the creating the XmlTextReader. Replace the line XXX with this

//Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
NameTable nt = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nt);
//Create the XmlParserContext.
XmlParserContext context = new XmlParserContext(
null, nsmgr, null, XmlSpace.Default);
//Create the reader, tell it the fragment represents
 an Xml Element type of node 
XmlTextReader xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(
xmlFrag, XmlNodeType.Element, context);
