difference between xmlreader and xmltextreader in xml

Aravind,
XMLTextReader is defined as another implementation of XMLReader like below
public class XmlTextReader : XmlReader
This contains some extra methods like "ResetState", which is not available in XMLReader

XMLReader is the root level class defined like below
public abstract class XmlReader : IDisposable

Now in real world, Microsoft suggesting to use XMLReader after the release of 2.0 Framework. So working with XMLTextReader means

Your code containing absolete functionalities
You code contains an Xtra layer over the root class of XMLReader.

I worked with both and couldn't see any thing Xtra for my need using XMLTextReader. It may be based on my need. So if you can implement your functionality with XMLReader go with that. Becasue that's the standard one now. Only go with XMLTextReader, something like ResetState mentioned above
