hi, i was wondering about a particular problem that we may encounter while reading large xml text files. while we use asynch programming like beginread to do out of the way read operations, there are n't any such methods defined for xmltextreader class. although streams are supported and we can have network, file streams that do support beginread operations but then the xmltextreader doesn't have the director support for that. the problem arose as i was developing a small app that would require reading rss feeds from number os sources and i need to skip a lot of un wanted nodes. what i wanted is a begintread method wherein i could call the rss file and get invoked to the main console app that after completion.
is there any work around for that ? I mean using network stream and then use beginread instead of the normal read() method. the second question is based on an article written in msdn, xmltextreader cannot read file above 2GB. why is this limititation imposed when it is a forward only reader. or is there any such limitation imposed by mono's implementation of the same. the third is, is xmltextreader a recursive descent parser following a top down approach and if yes (i assume and believe that it is), is it implemented in the anbtract xmlreader class or in the xmltextreader. any answers will be highly appreciated thanks alcheringa
