What is the best way to parse large XML (size of 1GB) in C#?

Question

I have a 1GB XML file and want to parse it. If I use XML Textreader or XMLDocument, the result is very slow and some times it hangs...

Answer 1

I'm not very familiar with this topic, but afaik the XmlReader-classes ought to work fine for your specific problem. They are, after all, optimized for exactly this.
