Question

This is my requirement
i need to deserialize an object and then i need to do some xml parsing(i know how it sounds)
So here is my code

XmlTextReader myFileReader = new XmlTextReader(path); 
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyType)); 
MyType par = serializer.Deserialize(myFileReader)  as MyType;

XElement qListenerParXml = XElement.Load(qListenerPar);

When i try to load the reader again i’m getting exception because the reader cursor is at the end.
My question is how do i return it back to the beginning?

Answer 1

XmlTextReader is forward-only, you cannot rewind the cursor on the data.

You could do this by going over the data again with a new instance of XmlTextReader, or by loading it as an XmlDocument.
