Examples

The following class is used in the example below:

Public Class MyAnnotation
    Private _tag As String

    Property Tag() As String
        Get
            Return Me._tag
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            Me._tag = Value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Sub New(ByVal tag As String)
        Me._tag = tag
    End Sub
End Class
public class MyAnnotation
{
    private string tag;
    public string Tag { get { return tag; } set { tag = value; } }
    public MyAnnotation(string tag)
    {
        this.tag = tag;
    }
}

The following example adds an annotation to an element, and then retrieves it through this method.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim ma As MyAnnotation = New MyAnnotation("T1")
Dim root As XElement = <Root>content</Root>
root.AddAnnotation(ma)

Dim ma2 As MyAnnotation = root.Annotation(Of MyAnnotation)()
output.Append(ma2.Tag)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
MyAnnotation ma = new MyAnnotation("T1");
XElement root = new XElement("Root", "content");
root.AddAnnotation(ma);

MyAnnotation ma2 = root.Annotation<MyAnnotation>();
output.Append(ma2.Tag + Environment.NewLine);

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
