XmlNodeReader.EOF Property
Summary
Gets a value indicating whether the end of the stream has been reached.
Syntax
public override bool EOF { get; }Returns
True if the reader is positioned after the last node of the XML document; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The EOF property is a read‑only boolean that becomes true when the reader has passed the last node in the underlying XML document. It is commonly used in a loop to determine when parsing should stop.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to use XmlNodeReader.EOF to iterate through an XML document.
// Sample XML
string xml = @"<books>
<book id='1'>
<title>C# in Depth</title>
</book>
<book id='2'>
<title>ASP.NET Core</title>
</book>
</books>";
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
XmlNodeReader reader = new XmlNodeReader(doc);
while (!reader.EOF)
{
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element && reader.Name == "title")
{
Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadElementString());
}
else
{
reader.Read();
}
}
