Value

A string containing the qualified name of the current node or, for node types that do not have a name (like Text, Comment , and so on), string.Empty. [Edit]

Remarks

This property is read-only.

The name returned is dependent on the XmlTextReader.NodeType of the node. The following node types return the listed values. All other node types return an empty string.

Node Type	Name
Attribute	The name of the attribute.
DocumentType	The document type name.
Element	The tag name.
EntityReference	The name of the entity referenced.
ProcessingInstruction	The target of the processing instruction.
XmlDeclaration	The literal string "xml".

Note:

The qualified name is equivalent to the XmlTextReader.LocalName prefixed with XmlTextReader.Prefix and the ':' character. For example, XmlTextReader.Name is "bk:book" for the element <bk:book>.

This property overrides XmlReader.Name.
