Resolves external XML resources, such as DTDs and entities. This is an abstract class.
Inheritance
Object
System.Xml.XmlResolver
Remarks
The XmlResolver class is used to resolve Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
for external XML resources. This includes Document Type Definitions (DTDs), entities,
and other external XML fragments. When an XML document parser encounters a reference
to an external resource, it uses an instance of XmlResolver to locate and
load that resource.
The .NET Framework provides a default implementation, XmlXapResolver, which
is used when no custom resolver is specified. For security reasons, it's important
to use XmlResolver implementations that are careful about the resources
they load, to prevent potential denial-of-service attacks or other security vulnerabilities.
Custom implementations of XmlResolver can be created to provide specific
resolution logic, such as resolving URIs from a network, a database, or a custom file system.
