 Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkAppendChildAdds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes, of this node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkCloneCreates a duplicate of this node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkCloneNodeWhen overridden in a derived class, creates a duplicate of the node.
Public methodCreateNavigatorCreates an XPathNavigator for navigating this object.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkEquals(Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetEnumeratorProvides support for the for each style iteration over the nodes in the XmlNode.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetHashCodeServes as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetNamespaceOfPrefixLooks up the closest xmlns declaration for the given prefix that is in scope for the current node and returns the namespace URI in the declaration.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetPrefixOfNamespaceLooks up the closest xmlns declaration for the given namespace URI that is in scope for the current node and returns the prefix defined in that declaration.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkInsertAfterInserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkInsertBeforeInserts the specified node immediately before the specified reference node.
Protected methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkNormalizePuts all XmlText nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this XmlNode into a "normal" form where only markup (that is, tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates XmlText nodes, that is, there are no adjacent XmlText nodes.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkPrependChildAdds the specified node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for this node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkRemoveAllRemoves all the child nodes and/or attributes of the current node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkRemoveChildRemoves specified child node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkReplaceChildReplaces the child node oldChild with newChild node.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSelectNodes(String)Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSelectNodes(String, XmlNamespaceManager)Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression. Any prefixes found in the XPath expression are resolved using the supplied XmlNamespaceManager.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSelectSingleNode(String)Selects the first XmlNode that matches the XPath expression.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSelectSingleNode(String, XmlNamespaceManager)Selects the first XmlNode that matches the XPath expression. Any prefixes found in the XPath expression are resolved using the supplied XmlNamespaceManager.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupportsTest if the DOM implementation implements a specific feature.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkToStringReturns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkWriteContentToWhen overridden in a derived class, saves all the child nodes of the node to the specified XmlWriter.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkWriteToWhen overridden in a derived class, saves the current node to the specified XmlWriter.

 Remarks

This class implements the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 1 Core and the Core DOM Level 2. The DOM is an in-memory (cache) tree representation of an XML document. XmlNode is the base class in the.NET implementation of the DOM. It supports XPath selections and provides editing capabilities. The XmlDocument class extends XmlNode and represents an XML document. You can use XmlDocument to load and save XML data. It also includes methods for node creation. See XML Document Object Model (DOM) for more information.

Security noteSecurity Note

Exceptions raised as a result of using the XmlNode class, such as the XmlException class may contain sensitive information that should not be exposed in untrusted scenarios. Exceptions should be properly handled so that this sensitive information is not exposed in untrusted scenarios.
