How to differenciate between the two nodes
<Header Name="ABC" />
and
<Test Test="AA">
Hello
</Test>
using XmlReader? The problem is that I am not been able to know whether a node contains child or not using XmlReader.

See MSDN: XmlReader.Read Method - "When overridden in a derived class, reads the next node from the stream."
There is an example on that MSDN page, however I think you want to do something like this:
using(var reader = XmlReader.Create(stream))
{
while(!reader.EOF)
{
reader.Read();
if(reader.IsEmptyElement)
{
...
}
}
}
The trick is when you understand that each time you go round the while loop and call reader.Read(); you advance to the next node, so when you call any other methods/properties on the reader, they will act on whatever the current node is.
As an alternative you could use XPath and check the XmlNode.HasChildNodes property.
