(This includes begin incomplete). yes i fear this is the correct approach for all of the parsers. Therefore the only way you could fix it would be to have a completion string built up. So that you would mark every tag that get's added, and unmark them as they are done. eg tag/tag Also tags that end with / can be thought of as finished. Then when you find the stream has died, you just complete all the tags. i do something like this, i handle the initial incomplete part by hand and then parse the properly closed internal parts as they arrive. The downside is that this means you are doing the job of parsing the xml before the parser. Seems like a lot of work. yes, but maybe something useful will grow out of this. ;) thanks, Krisztian PIFKO ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

Just create both an XmlTextReader and an XmlTextWriter on the stream. In your Read loop, you know where you are in your stream, and can take action based on that. In your example, if the NodeType is XmlNodeType.Element, and the Name is stream, then write the beginning elements back to the client on the writer and continue. If the Name is auth, then continue reading the input until the NodeType is XmlNodeType.EndElement and the name is also auth. (Along the way to EndElement you can get the data out of the node that you're looking for.) Then you can send your answer down the writer and continue. This is somewhat simplified explanation, but it should give the general idea. -- Scott ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

[Mono-list] parsing an incomplete xml
hi, should someone please tell me how to parse an incomplete xml? i'm reading the xml asynchronously from a socket and i need to parse it continously as it arrives. when i feed the incomplete xml into XmlTextReader it hangs at the first unclosed element. thanks in advance, Krisztian PIFKO ___ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
