InvalidOperationException

If the XmlReaderSettings object specifies a conformance level that is not consistent with conformance level of the underlying reader.

The underlying XmlReader is in an Error or Closed state.

Remarks

This method allows you add additional features to an underlying XmlReader object. The underlying XmlReader object can be another XmlReader object created by the Create method, or an XmlReader object created using one of the concrete XmlReader implementations.

The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.

Platform Notes

 Wrapping a custom reader is allowed in Silverlight for Windows Phone. That is, you can create a custom reader with your own implementations of the required functions, and then pass the custom reader as input to Create. You must set the ConformanceLevel in XmlReaderSettings to Auto when wrapping a custom reader.
