Public property NamespaceURI Gets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the schema namespace for the XMLNode control.
Public property NextSibling Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object that represents the next Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object in the document that is at the same level as the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode control.
Public property NodeText Gets or sets the text value of the XMLNode control.
Public property NodeType Gets a value that indicates whether an XMLNode is an attribute or an element.
Public property NodeValue Gets or sets the value of an XMLNode that represents an attribute.
Public property OwnerDocument Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document that represents the parent document of the specified XMLNode control.
Public property Parent Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document that represents the document containing the specified XMLNode control.
Public property ParentNode Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object that represents the parent element of the specified Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode control.
Public property PlaceholderText Gets or sets the text displayed for an XMLNode control that contains no text.
Public property PreviousSibling Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object that represents the previous Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode object in the document that is at the same level as the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode control.
Public property Range Gets a Range object that represents the portion of a document that is contained in the XMLNode control.
Public property Site Gets or sets the ISite associated with the IComponent. (Inherited from IComponent.)
Public property SmartTag Gets a SmartTag object that represents the smart tag associated with the XMLNode control. This type or member is intended to be used only in projects for the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Smart tags are deprecated in Office 2010.

Remarks

When you map non-repeating schema elements onto a Microsoft Office Word document at design time, Visual Studio creates an XMLNode control for each elements that are allowed to appear only once in a document. A non-repeating schema element is an element with the maxOccurs attribute set to 1.

XMLNode controls can be created only in Word document-level projects at design time. They cannot be created at run time or in application-level projects. For more information, see XMLNode Control and How to: Add XMLNode Controls to Word Documents.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Usage

This documentation describes the version of this type that is used in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 and the .NET Framework 4.5. In projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, this type might have different members and the code examples provided for this type might not work. For documentation about this type in projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, see the following reference section in the Visual Studio 2008 documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160658.
