Reading XML comments in C#

by

Try this:

XmlReaderSettings readerSettings = new XmlReaderSettings();
readerSettings.IgnoreComments = false; 
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("input.xml", readerSettings))
{
    XmlDocument myData = new XmlDocument();
    myData.Load(reader);
    // etc...
}

To read comments:

XmlReader xmlRdr = XmlReader.Create("Test.XML");
// Parse the file
while (xmlRdr.Read())
{
    switch (xmlRdr.NodeType)
    {
        case XmlNodeType.Element:
            // You may need to capture the last element to provide a context
            // for any comments you come across... so copy xmlRdr.Name, etc.
            break;
        case XmlNodeType.Comment:
            // Do something with xmlRdr.value
