Error in xmltextreader?

[Jan Eliasen]

Hi

I am currently trying to write an VB.NET application that reads an
xml-document and writes another xml-document.

If I look at msdn.microsoft.com, it seems that if the xmltextreader
reads a <elementname attr="value" /> then the
"isElementEmpty"-property of the xmltextreader should be true. It
isn't, however. On msdn it says that the documentation is based on
..NET framework 1.1 - is it possibly a bug in the framework 1.0?

If anyone has an idea for a workaround (other than upgrading my VS.NET
then I'd like to hear about it.

Everyone, please ignore this posting and feel free to call me an
idiot! Problem solved. I needed to read the isEmptyElement
property before iterating over the attributes... silly me.

Could you provide a short but complete example which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for what I mean.
