I have a xml string:
<Test> Result : this is the result</Test>
How do i parse XML using XMLReader class to get "this is the result" as a string back.
thanx !

This is not XML. XML requires a header.ereOn– ereOn2010-04-14 07:39:44 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2010 at 7:39

XML fragments do not require a header, and xmlreader can quite happily read it, header or not.dnolan– dnolan2010-04-14 08:01:17 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2010 at 8:01

Because it works doesn't necessarily mean it is correct ;) Without a header, you have no information about the encoding and cannot reliabily parse XML. However, I guess one can deviate from the standard in some simple cases. I just don't like it.ereOn– ereOn2010-04-14 08:08:19 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2010 at 8:08

1@Richard Sure, but SHOULD != CAN as well ;) For example: "You SHOULD wear clothes" => it is not mandatory but still recommended. Well, my example is stupid, but it is mostly a matter of interpretation. I always try to enforce the theory, but I can understand that things differ in practice. In this case, I think it is wrong to omit the header, but again, it is only my opinion. And our discussion has become "off-topic" I guess.ereOn– ereOn2010-04-14 11:40:17 +00:00Commented Apr 14, 2010 at 11:40

var r = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader("<Test> Result : this is the result</Test>"))
while (r.Read()) {
if (r.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element && r.LocalName == "Test") {
Console.Write(r.ReadElementContentAsString());
}
}

works, just replace <xmlstring> by "<Test> Result : this is the result</Test>"
Just create an xml reader using that string and use it for parsing
var reader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader(<xmlstring>))

when i do the "using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlString)))" the reader says there are no attributes. Can some1 give me an example please?

@Dror Helper: You need to expand your answer to actually answer the "How do i parse XML using XMLReader class to get "this is the result" as a string back." bit. You've only really shown a hint of the way to go, not a solution.
