| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
IXmlLineInfo.HasLineInfo | Gets a value indicating whether or not this XObject has line information. |

Remarks
This class is the abstract common base class for XNode and XAttribute. It provides some basic functionality that is common to both classes, such as annotations, and raising events when nodes have changed.
Note that annotations are not part of the XML infoset; they are not serialized or deserialized.
