Gets The Common Language Runtime (CLR) type for the current node.
public:
virtual property Type ^ ValueType { Type ^ get(); };public virtual Type ValueType { get; }member this.ValueType : TypePublic Overridable ReadOnly Property ValueType As TypeProperty Value
The CLR type that corresponds to the typed value of the node. The default is System.String.
Exceptions
An XmlReader method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "An asynchronous operation is already in progress."
Remarks
See Type Support in the System.Xml Classes for a list of the default mappings.
An element of type xs:int has a ValueType of System.Int32 by default. However, the ValueType could be one of the valid types that can be mapped to xs:int, such as System.Int16 or System.Double.
If a node is un-typed, or if the node is an element that contains mixed content, the node value is mapped to the System.String type.
Notes to Inheritors
Implementers must provide a ValueType for every node, even if it is only the System.String type.
