Overview

The XMLEntity class represents entity declarations within an XML document. For more information about entity declarations, see the XML specification at http://www.w3.org.

Example (VB.NET): How to retrieve and display information about entity declarations in an XML document using the XMLEntity class.

The example below uses the Count property of DocumentType.Entities to represent the list of entities within an XML document. It then assigns each found entity to an XMLEntity object. The XMLEntity.Name, XMLEntity.InnerXml, XMLEntity.OwnerDocument, XMLEntity.SystemId, and XMLEntity.PublicId properties are displayed.

Dim objDocument As New System.Xml.XmlDocument

Dim objEntity As System.Xml.XmlEntity

Dim strValues As String

Dim x As Integer

objDocument.Load("c:\doc_with_entities.xml")

If objDocument.DocumentType.Entities.Count > 0 Then

For x = 0 To objDocument.DocumentType.Entities.Count - 1

objEntity = objDocument.DocumentType.Entities.Item(x)

strValues &= "XMLEntity.Name: " & objEntity.Name & CrLf

strValues &= " XMLEntity.InnerXml: " & objEntity.InnerXml & CrLf

strValues &= " XMLEntity.OwnerDocument.Name: " & objEntity.OwnerDocument.Name & CrLf

strValues &= " XMLEntity.SystemId: " & objEntity.SystemId & CrLf
