#### Public Instance Properties

Base (inherited from ChainableReader) | Gets a value indicating if the reader is backed by a stream in the chain.

Parent (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the parent of the element.
Project (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the Project to which this element belongs.
Properties (inherited from Element) | Gets the properties local to this Element and the Project.
UnlessDefined | Opposite of IfDefined. If false then the filter will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.

#### Public Instance Methods

Chain (inherited from ChainableReader) | Overloaded. Makes it so all calls to Read and Peek are passed the ChainableReader passed as a parameter.
Close (inherited from ChainableReader) | Closes the reader.
Dispose (inherited from ChainableReader) | Calls close and supresses the finalizer for the object.
Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
GetLocation (inherited from Element) | Retrieves the location in the build file where the element is defined.
GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance.
Initialize (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Performs default initialization.
InitializeFilter | Called after construction and after properties are set. Allows for filter initialization.
Log (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Logs a message with the given priority.
Peek (inherited from ChainableReader) | Forwards Peek calls to the TextReader or ChainableReader passed in the corresponding constructor.
Read (inherited from ChainableReader) | Forwards Read calls to the TextReader or ChainableReader passed in the corresponding constructor.
ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object.

#### Protected Instance Constructors

Filter Constructor | Initializes a new instance of the Filter class.

#### Protected Instance Properties

CustomXmlProcessing (inherited from Element) | Gets a value indicating whether the element is performing additional processing using the XmlNode that was used to initialize the element.
Location (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the location in the build file where the element is defined.
XmlNode (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XML node of the element.

#### Protected Instance Methods

CopyTo (inherited from Element) | Copies all instance data of the Element to a given Element.
Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetAttributeConfigurationNode (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Locates the XML node for the specified attribute in the project configuration node.
Initialize (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Performs default initialization.
InitializeElement (inherited from Element) | Obsolete. Derived classes should override to this method to provide extra initialization and validation not covered by the base class.
InitializeXml (inherited from Element) | Initializes all build attributes and child elements.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
