I expect this in my xml
<van id="1234">
<stock level...../>
<stock level..../>
</van>

I do xmlReader.Read(), if the NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element then I call
ImportVanStockLevels(xmlReader);

ImportVanStockLevels will do this
1) read each attribute
2) call xmlReader.Read() until </van> is found

But I have a problem, sometimes the van has no stock, so I receive this

<van id="1234"/>

IsEmptyElement returns false, and HasValue returns true.

How can I detect this situation?

Thanks

Found the answer in Google, just wasn't sure what to search for as knowing
this information would in fact have been my answer (and then I wouldn't have
needed to Google for it) :-)

After using MoveToNextAttribute() for the last time use MoveToElement().
XmlReader will then return the NodeType for the element rather than the
attribute.
