XQueryCompiler.Compile Method (Stream)

Compile a query supplied as a Stream.

public XQueryExecutable Compile(
   Stream query
);

Parameters

query
A stream containing the source text of the query

Return Value

An XQueryExecutable which represents the compiled query object. The XQueryExecutable may be run as many times as required, in the same or a different thread. The XQueryExecutable is not affected by any changes made to the XQueryCompiler once it has been compiled.

Remarks

The XQuery processor attempts to deduce the encoding of the query by looking for a byte-order-mark, or if none is present, by looking for the encoding declaration in the XQuery version declaration. For this to work, the stream must have the CanSeek property. If no encoding information is present, UTF-8 is assumed.

Example

            XQueryExecutable q = compiler.Compile(new FileStream("input.xq", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
