Reading XML from Stream

Question

I\'m working with ASP.NET, and am importing an XML file from a form. Right now I convert that into a Stream:

Stream inputStream = XmlFileUploa

@thomas-levesque https://stackoverflow.com/users/98713/thomas-levesque was right, if the content itself is well-formed, then you need to rewind the stream back to the start of the content.

The CorrectFileFormat() method:

protected Boolean CorrectFileFormat(Stream inputStream)
{
    // rewind the stream back to the very beginning of the content
    inputStream.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(inputStream);

    if (reader.MoveToContent() == XmlNodeType.Element && reader.Name == "DiagReport")
    {
        return true;
    }
}

The DisplayLicenseInfo() method:

protected void DisplayLicenseInfo(Stream inputStream)
{
    // rewind the stream back to the very beginning of the content
    inputStream.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(inputStream);

    if (reader.MoveToContent() == XmlNodeType.Element && reader.Name == "LicensingStatus")
    {
        StatusLabel.Text += ("Licensing Status: " + reader.ReadString() + "

");
    }
}
