XmlReader - Self-closing element does not fire a EndElement event?

问题

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?

回答1:

No, you check it by looking at XmlReader.IsEmptyElement.

In the docs for that property:

A corresponding EndElement node is not generated for empty elements.
