The following code example uses the LastChild property to display the name of the last child node of an XMLNode control. The example also uses the HasChildNodes property to determine whether the XMLNode control has any child nodes. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerNode.

Visual Basic
Private Sub DisplayLastChildName()
    If Me.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes Then
        MsgBox("The last child of '" & Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            "' is '" & Me.CustomerNode.LastChild.BaseName & "'.")
    Else
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            "' has no child nodes.")
    End If
End Sub
C#
private void DisplayLastChildName()
{
    if (this.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The last child of '" + 
            this.CustomerNode.BaseName + "' is '" +
            this.CustomerNode.LastChild.BaseName + "'.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerNode.BaseName + 
            "' has no child nodes.");
    }
}
