XDocumentType.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 XDocumentType objects, this value is DocumentType.
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 shows the use of this property to retrieve the node type for an XDocumentType object.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim internalSubset = _
"<!ELEMENT Pubs (Book+)>" & Environment.NewLine & _
"<!ELEMENT Book (Title, Author)>" & Environment.NewLine & _
"<!ELEMENT Title (#PCDATA)>" & Environment.NewLine & _
"<!ELEMENT Author (#PCDATA)>"
Dim doc As XDocument = _
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!--This is a comment.-->
<?xml-stylesheet href='mystyle.css' title='Compact' type='text/css'?>
<Pubs>
<Book>
<Title>Artifacts of Roman Civilization</Title>
<Author>Moreno, Jordao</Author>
</Book>
<Book>
<Title>Midieval Tools and Implements</Title>
<Author>Gazit, Inbar</Author>
</Book>
</Pubs>
<!--This is another comment.-->
doc.FirstNode.AddAfterSelf(New XDocumentType("Pubs", Nothing, Nothing, internalSubset))
output.Append(doc.DocumentType.NodeType.ToString())
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
string internalSubset = @"<!ELEMENT Pubs (Book+)>
<!ELEMENT Book (Title, Author)>
<!ELEMENT Title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Author (#PCDATA)>";
string target = "xml-stylesheet";
string data = "href=\"mystyle.css\" title=\"Compact\" type=\"text/css\"";
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
new XComment("This is a comment."),
new XProcessingInstruction(target, data),
new XDocumentType("Pubs", null, null, internalSubset),
new XElement("Pubs",
new XElement("Book",
new XElement("Title", "Artifacts of Roman Civilization"),
new XElement("Author", "Moreno, Jordao")
),
new XElement("Book",
new XElement("Title", "Midieval Tools and Implements"),
new XElement("Author", "Gazit, Inbar")
)
),
new XComment("This is another comment.")
);
doc.Declaration = new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "true");
output.Append(doc.DocumentType.NodeType + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
