XProcessingInstruction.NodeType Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml.Linq

Assembly:

System.Xml.XDocument.dll

Source:

XProcessingInstruction.cs

Gets the node type for this node.

public:
 virtual property System::Xml::XmlNodeType NodeType { System::Xml::XmlNodeType get(); };

public override System.Xml.XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }

member this.NodeType : System.Xml.XmlNodeType

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeType

Property Value

XmlNodeType

The node type. For XProcessingInstruction objects, this value is ProcessingInstruction.

Examples

The following example creates a processing instruction, and then prints its node type.

XProcessingInstruction pi =  
    new XProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"hello.xsl\"");  
Console.WriteLine(pi.NodeType);  

Dim pi As XProcessingInstruction = _  
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hello.xsl"?>  
Console.WriteLine(pi.NodeType.ToString)  

This example produces the following output:

ProcessingInstruction  

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.
