XElement.NodeType Property
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets the node type for this node.
Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeType
public override XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Xml.XmlNodeType
The node type. For XElement objects, this value is Element.
Remarks
Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of concrete subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each node in the collection.
Examples
The following example uses this property to print the node type of an element.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim el1 As XElement = <Root>content</Root>
output.Append(el1.NodeType.ToString())
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement el1 = new XElement("Root", "content");
output.Append(el1.NodeType + Environment.NewLine);
output.Append(Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
