A CDATA section.Example XML:
<![CDATA[escaped text]]>CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text that would otherwise be recognized as markup. A
CDATAnode cannot have any child nodes. It can appear as the child of theDocumentFragment,EntityReference, andElementnodes.

DocumentTypenode can have the following child node types:NotationandEntity. It can appear as the child of theDocumentnode.
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
An element.Example XML:
<name>An
Elementnode can have the following child node types:Element,Text,Comment,ProcessingInstruction,CDATA, andEntityReference. It can be the child of theDocument,DocumentFragment,EntityReference, andElementnodes.
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
An end element.Example XML:
</name>Returned when XmlReader gets to the end of an element.
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
Returned when XmlReader gets to the end of the entity replacement as a result of a call to System.Xml.XmlReader.ResolveEntity .
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
An entity declaration.Example XML:
<!ENTITY ...>An
Entitynode can have child nodes that represent the expanded entity (for example,TextandEntityReferencenodes). It can appear as the child of theDocumentTypenode.
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
A reference to an entity.Example XML:
&num;An
EntityReferencenode can have the following child node types:Element,ProcessingInstruction,Comment,Text,CDATA, andEntityReference. It can appear as the child of theAttribute,DocumentFragment,Element, andEntityReferencenodes.
System.Xml.XmlNodeType Enum, System.Xml Namespace
This is returned by the XmlReader if a read method has not been called or if no more nodes are available to be read.
