XObject.Parent Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets the parent XElement of this XObject.

Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Parent As XElement

public XElement Parent { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Xml.Linq.XElement
The parent XElement of this XObject.

Remarks

If this XObject has no parent element, this property returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Note:
This property returns the parent element, and as children nodes of an XDocument have no parent element, this property returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for them.

Examples

The following example uses this method.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim doc As XDocument = _
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!--A comment in the document.-->
    <Root>
        <Child>content</Child>
    </Root>
Dim child As XElement = doc.Descendants("Child").First()
Dim root As XElement = child.Parent
output.Append(root.Name)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    new XComment("A comment in the document."),
    new XElement("Root",
        new XElement("Child", "content")
    )
);
XElement child = doc.Descendants("Child").First();
XElement root = child.Parent;
output.Append(root.Name + Environment.NewLine);

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
