2.3 Moving On

You've now seen how to access files on a local filesystem and a network. You have learned how to use the various XmlReader implementations. And I've discussed the pull parser pattern used by the .NET XML parser and how it differs from a push parser.

You should now be able to read any arbitrary XML file using XmlReader. In the next chapter, I'll show you the other side of the XML I/O picture by introducing XmlWriter.
