Parameters

name

A string specifying the qualified name of an element.

Returns

A string containing the contents of the element.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
System.Xml.XmlException	The node is not an Element node, the XmlReader.Name property of the Element node does not equal name, the element does not contain a simple text value, or an error occurred while parsing the XML.

Remarks

Operation

As described above.

This method calls the XmlReader.MoveToContent method and, if the returned node is an Element node, compares the XmlReader.Name property of the node to name. If they are equal, this method calls the XmlReader.ReadString method to read the contents of the element.

Note to Inheritors

Override this method to customize the behavior of this method in types derived from the System.Xml.XmlReader class.

Usage

Use this method to read the contents of a text-only element with the specified qualified name.
