Remarks

When a reader is instantiated, the read state is set to Initial. When the XmlReader.Read method is called, the read state is changed to Interactive. If an error occurs during a read operation, the read state is changed to Error. When the end of the XML data is reached, the read state is set to EndOfFile. When the XmlReader.Close method is called, the read state is set to Closed.
