XMLReader, like all of the readers in .NET, simply reads
data. The data is not retained in memory like that of a
dataset. If you had an XMLsource document you could read
through it using XMLReader and load the elements into a
datagrid. If you don't need to refer to that data very
often it's supposed to be more efficient to use a reader
instead of a dataset.
Hope that shed some light.
