SecurityElement.SearchForTextOfTag Method

.NET Framework 4.5

Finds a child by its tag name and returns the contained text.

Namespace: System.Security
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public string SearchForTextOfTag(
	string tag
)

Parameters

tag: Type: System.String
The tag for which to search in child elements.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The text contents of the first child element with the specified tag value.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	tag is null.

Remarks

This method is equivalent to the following:

C++

string SearchForTextOfTag(string tag)
{
    SecurityElement element = this.SearchForChildByTag(tag);
    return element.Text;
}

With XML as follows, SearchForTextOfTag("second") would return "text2".

<thetag A="123" B="456" C="789"> <first>text1</first>
    <second>text2</second></thetag>
