xmlreader

I'm getting this error when trying to parse through an XML document in a C# application: "For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method." For reference, the exception occurred at the second line of the following code: using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(uri)) { reader.MoveToContent(); //here while (reader.Read()) //(code to parse xml doc follows). My knowledge of Xml is pretty limited and I have no idea what DTD processing is nor how to do

I am using XmlReader in .NET to parse an XML file using a loop: while (xml.Read()) { switch xml.NodeType { case XmlNodeType.Element: //Do something case XmlNodeType.Text: //Do something case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Do something } } I was wondering if it was normal that the following XML code does not produce some EndElement nodes? Please note the missing space before the /> but I don't think that's the problem. <date month="November" year="2001"/> <zone name="xml"/> Is there a different NodeType or property to indicate a self-closing element? Jon Skeet No, you check it by looking at
