Current line number from a System.Xml.XmlReader (C# & .Net)

Question

Does anyone know how I can get the current line number of an System.Xml.XmlReader? I am trying to record where in a file I find Xml elements.

Answer 1

Take advantage of the IXmlLineInfo interface supported by an XmlReader:

IXmlLineInfo xmlInfo = (IXmlLineInfo)reader;
int lineNumber = xmlInfo.LineNumber;
