Deletes a range of sibling nodes from the current node to the node specified.
(in System.Xml.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable Sub DeleteRange ( _
lastSiblingToDelete As XPathNavigator _
)
Dim instance As XPathNavigator
Dim lastSiblingToDelete As XPathNavigator
instance.DeleteRange(lastSiblingToDelete)
public virtual void DeleteRange(
XPathNavigator lastSiblingToDelete
)
public:
virtual void DeleteRange(
XPathNavigator^ lastSiblingToDelete
)
public function DeleteRange(
lastSiblingToDelete : XPathNavigator
)
The DeleteRange method deletes a range of sibling nodes from the current node the XPathNavigator is positioned on (inclusive) to the node specified by the XPathNavigator parameter (inclusive). The XPathNavigator is then positioned on its parent node.
In the following example, the first and second book elements of the contosoBooks.xml file are deleted using the DeleteRange method.
Dim document As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
document.Load("contosoBooks.xml")
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = document.CreateNavigator()
Dim manager As XmlNamespaceManager = New XmlNamespaceManager(document.NameTable)
manager.AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books")
Dim first As XPathNavigator = navigator.SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[1]", manager)
Dim last As XPathNavigator = navigator.SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[2]", manager)
navigator.MoveTo(first)
navigator.DeleteRange(last)
Console.WriteLine(navigator.OuterXml)
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(document.NameTable);
manager.AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
XPathNavigator first = navigator.SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[1]", manager);
XPathNavigator last = navigator.SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[2]", manager);
navigator.MoveTo(first);
navigator.DeleteRange(last);
Console.WriteLine(navigator.OuterXml);
XmlDocument^ document = gcnew XmlDocument();
document->Load("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();
XmlNamespaceManager^ manager = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager(document->NameTable);
manager->AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
XPathNavigator^ first = navigator->SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[1]", manager);
XPathNavigator^ last = navigator->SelectSingleNode("/bk:bookstore/bk:book[2]", manager);
navigator->MoveTo(first);
navigator->DeleteRange(last);
Console::WriteLine(navigator->OuterXml);
The example takes the contosoBooks.xml file as an input.
