Value

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

Exceptions

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

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.
