Returns a collection of the sibling nodes after this node, in document order.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function NodesAfterSelf As IEnumerable(Of XNode)

public IEnumerable<XNode> NodesAfterSelf()

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<XNode>
An IEnumerable<T> of XNode of the sibling nodes after this node, in document order.

Remarks

This method only includes siblings in the returned collection. It does not include descendants.

This method uses deferred execution.

Examples

The following example creates an XML tree, and then queries the tree using this axis method.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim xmlTree As XElement = New XElement("Root", _
    New XText("Text content."), _
    New XElement("Child1", "child1 content"), _
    New XElement("Child2", "child2 content"), _
    New XText("More text content."), _
    New XElement("child3", "child3 content") _
)

Dim child As XElement = xmlTree.Element("Child2")
Dim nodes As IEnumerable(Of XNode) = _
    From node In child.NodesAfterSelf() _
    Select node
For Each node As XNode In nodes
    Dim s As String = ""
    If node.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Text Then
        s = DirectCast(node, XText).Value
    End If
    output.Append(String.Format("Node type: {0}  {1}", node.NodeType, s))
    output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
Next

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",
    new XText("Text content."),
    new XElement("Child1", "child1 content"),
    new XElement("Child2", "child2 content"),
    new XText("More text content."),
    new XElement("child3", "child3 content")
);
XElement child = xmlTree.Element("Child2");
IEnumerable<XNode> nodes =
    from node in child.NodesAfterSelf()
    select node;

foreach (XNode node in nodes)
{
    output.Append(String.Format("Node type: {0}  {1}",
                    node.NodeType,
                    node.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Text ? (node as XText).Value : ""));

    output.Append(Environment.NewLine);
}

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
