Overview
The XMLNameTable class exposes an interface to the
NameTables used by many System.XML classes to store and compare object
references. You can use the Add and Get methods to insert and retrieve values
for your own comparisons.
The main benefit is typically a gain in performance, as object
reference comparisons can outperform string comparisons, especially when
working with a large amount of repeated element or attributes. Note that the
XMLNameTable class is implemented using the NameTable class.
Example (VB.NET):
How to add a string value to the NameTable.
The example below shows how a string value is added to the
NameTable, which makes it available as an object reference (and turns the
string into an “atomized string”). Using a reader we test for the condition
until the string value is located.
Dim objReader As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("C:\sample.xml")
Dim objTest As Object = objReader.NameTable.Add("something")
