Value

One of the members of the System.Xml.WhitespaceHandling enumeration. The default is WhitespaceHandling.All (returns both significant and insignificant white space).

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value to be set is not one of the members of the System.Xml.WhitespaceHandling enumeration.
InvalidOperationException	When setting the property, the XmlTextReader.ReadState is ReadState.Closed.

Remarks

This property can be changed at any time before the current instance is closed and takes affect on the next read operation.

Note:

Because an instance of the System.Xml.XmlTextReader class does not have DTD information available to it, SignificantWhitespace nodes are only returned within the xml:space="preserve" scope.
