XmlDocument doesn't handle the fragment values properly

XmlDocument doesn't handle the fragment values properly, i.e. if we try to load XmlDocument with the xml fragment value then we get the error saying "There are multiple root elements".

I have also tried using the XmlReaderSettings.ConformanceLevel to
Fragment(and Auto) to load the xml fragment value to properly, that also
doesn't work.

 static void Main(string[] args)

    {

      XmlDocument xmlDoc = null;

      XmlReader xmlReader = null;

 

      XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();

 

      // ConformanceLevel.Fragment: This setting accepts XML data that has multiple root elements or text nodes at the top level

 

      settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment;

      xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(new
StringReader("<NAME>Name0</NAME><EXPERIENCE YEARS=\"0\"
/>"), settings);

 

      try

      {

        xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

        xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;

        xmlDoc.Load(xmlReader); //throws the error : This document already has a 'DocumentElement' node

      }

      catch (Exception e)

      {

        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);

      }

}
