XDocument.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 XDocument objects, this value is Document.
Remarks
Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of objects where the type of each is a subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each object in the collection.
Examples
The following example shows the use of this property.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
' Note that this property uses XmlNodeType, which is in the System.Xml namespace.
Dim xmlTree As XDocument = _
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes'?>
<Root>content</Root>
output.Append("{0}", xmlTree.NodeType)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
// Note that this property uses XmlNodeType, which is in the System.Xml namespace.
XDocument xmlTree = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
new XElement("Root", "content")
);
output.Append(xmlTree.NodeType + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
