.NET Framework Class Library
XNode.NextNode Property
Gets the next sibling node of this node.
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public ReadOnly Property NextNode As XNode Get
C#
public XNode NextNode { get; }
Visual C++
public: property XNode^ NextNode { XNode^ get (); }
F#
member NextNode : XNode
Remarks
If this XNode does not have a parent, or if there is no next node, this property returns null.
Examples
The following example uses this property to loop through nodes.
C#
XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root", new XElement("Child1", 1), new XText("Some Text"), new XElement("Child2", 2, new XElement("GrandChild", "GrandChild Content") ), new XComment("a comment"), new XElement("Child3") ); XNode node = xmlTree.Element("Child2"); do { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.Append(String.Format("NodeType: {0}", node.NodeType.ToString().PadRight(10))); switch (node.NodeType) { case XmlNodeType.Text: sb.Append((node as XText).Value); break; case XmlNodeType.Element: sb.Append((node as XElement).Name); break; case XmlNodeType.Comment: sb.Append((node as XComment).Value); break; } Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString()); } while ((node = node.NextNode) != null);
Visual Basic
Dim xmlTree As XElement = _ <Root> <Child1>1</Child1>Some Text <Child2>2 <GrandChild>GrandChild Content</GrandChild> </Child2> <!--a comment--> <Child3>3</Child3> </Root> Dim node As XNode = xmlTree.Element("Child2") Do Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder() sb.Append(String.Format("NodeType: {0}", node.NodeType.ToString().PadRight(10))) Select Case node.NodeType Case XmlNodeType.Text sb.Append(DirectCast(node, XText).Value) Case XmlNodeType.Element sb.Append(DirectCast(node, XElement).Name) Case XmlNodeType.Comment sb.Append(DirectCast(node, XComment).Value) End Select Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString()) node = node.NextNode Loop While (Not (node Is Nothing))
This example produces the following output:
NodeType: Element Child2 NodeType: Comment a comment NodeType: Element Child3
