Indicates whether the parsed external entities that make up the XML document being processed must be read or not.  

Syntax

&DataType.ReadExternalEntities

 

Description

This property indicates whether the parsed external entities that make up the XML document being processed are to be read (it includes the DTD external sub-set). If  reading is enabled, the XMLReader object will read and process, in a transparent way for the user, all references to external files or URLs included in the document. Otherwise, the references to external entities are ignored.

Security tips

This property default value is false. Allowing it to read External Entities may expose the application to XML External Entities (XXE) attacks. Proper sanitization is advised.
