Hello,

How do I reset an XmlValidatingReader or move it back to it's starting
position?

// First time, works fine
while( vr.Read() )
{
//...
};

// Second time, doesn't read anything since it's at the end of the stream
while( vr.Read() )
{
//...
};

I'm using an XmlTextReader based on a filestream, but to reset it I do:

/* Reset the reader to the start: */
fs.Position = 0;
reader = new XmlTextReader(fs);

ResetState doesn't appear to reset the state. To re-read the file you
need to position back to the start and start again it seems.

XmlValidatingReader is a forward only reader. To re-read content you need to
either.
1. you need to construct a new reader
2. Load the document in a XmlDocument and navigate it back and forth using
an XPathNavigator.

Thanks
