The XmlReader state should be Interactive

Question

I am trying to load an xml into an XDocument object.

public void ValidateRules(XmlReader xml)
{
    xml.MoveToContent();
    XDocument xDoc = new XDocument();
    xDoc = XDocument.Load(xml);
}

But, I keep getting the error "The XmlReader state should be Interactive". I searched for a work around for this, and added MoveToContent() method at the top(as it was mentioned that, this will change the ReadState to Interactive), but it didn't work. ReadState is read-only and I cannot change the value.

What can be the problem over here?

P.S. The XML file which I am trying to load has a DTD reference. It is present at the same path as the XML. Do not know whether this is of any significance.

Answer 1

XML data is null attempt read via reader. reader's ReadState situation will be Initial or EndOfFile (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fxtcxd31.aspx)

public void ValidateRules(XmlReader reader)
{
    XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(reader);
}
