Remarks

Elements are one of the most common nodes in the W3C Document Object Model (DOM). Elements can have attributes associated with them. The XmlElement class has many methods for accessing attributes (GetAttribute, SetAttribute, RemoveAttribute, GetAttributeNode, and so on). You can also use the Attributes property which returns an XmlAttributeCollection enabling you to access attributes by name or index from the collection.

Constructors

XmlElement(String, String, String, XmlDocument)

Initializes a new instance of the XmlElement class.

Methods

AppendChild(XmlNode)	Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes, of this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Clone()	Creates a duplicate of this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
CloneNode(Boolean)	Creates a duplicate of this node.
CreateNavigator()	Creates an XPathNavigator for navigating this object. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetAttribute(String, String)	Returns the value for the attribute with the specified local name and namespace URI.
GetAttribute(String)	Returns the value for the attribute with the specified name.
GetAttributeNode(String, String)	Returns the XmlAttribute with the specified local name and namespace URI.
GetAttributeNode(String)	Returns the XmlAttribute with the specified name.
GetElementsByTagName(String, String)	Returns an XmlNodeList containing a list of all descendant elements that match the specified LocalName and NamespaceURI.
GetElementsByTagName(String)	Returns an XmlNodeList containing a list of all descendant elements that match the specified Name.
GetEnumerator()	Gets an enumerator that iterates through the child nodes in the current node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetNamespaceOfPrefix(String)	Looks up the closest xmlns declaration for the given prefix that is in scope for the current node and returns the namespace URI in the declaration. (Inherited from XmlNode)

MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Normalize()	Puts all XmlText nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this XmlNode into a "normal" form where only markup (that is, tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates XmlText nodes, that is, there are no adjacent XmlText nodes. (Inherited from XmlNode)
PrependChild(XmlNode)	Adds the specified node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
RemoveAll()	Removes all specified attributes and children of the current node. Default attributes are not removed.
