Remarks

When set to true, the XmlReader throws an XmlException when any DTD content is encountered. Do not enable DTD processing if you are concerned about Denial of Service issues or if you are dealing with untrusted sources.

If you have DTD processing enabled, you can use the XmlSecureResolver to restrict the resources that the XmlReader can access. You can also design your application so that the XML processing is memory and time constrained. For example, configure time-out limits in your ASP.NET application.

This property is obsolete. Use DtdProcessing instead. If you had set ProhibitDtd to its default value true set DtdProcessing to Prohibit. If you had set ProhibitDtd to false set DtdProcessing to Parse.
