Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether ResXDataNode objects are returned when reading the current XML resource file or stream.

public:
 property bool UseResXDataNodes { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool UseResXDataNodes { get; set; }

member this.UseResXDataNodes : bool with get, set

Public Property UseResXDataNodes As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if resource data nodes are retrieved; false if resource data nodes are ignored.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

In a set operation, the enumerator for the resource file or stream is already open.

Examples

The following example enumerates and displays resource items in an XML file. Initially, UseResXDataNodes is set to false to show both data and metadata items as they occur in the resource file. The second enumeration has the UseResXDataNodes set to true so that resource data elements are returned as ResXDataNode objects.

Remarks

You can set the UseResXDataNodes property before you begin enumerating resources. By default, its value is false.
