When overridden in a derived class, gets the Name of the current node without any namespace prefix.
(in System.Xml.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property LocalName As String
Dim instance As XPathNavigator
Dim value As String
value = instance.LocalName
public abstract string LocalName { get; }
public:
virtual property String^ LocalName {
String^ get () abstract;
}
public abstract function get LocalName () : String
The local name returned depends on the XPathNodeType of the current node. For example, the local name for the <bk:book> element is book.
The following table lists the value returned by the LocalName property, based on the XPathNodeType of the current node.
The following example iterates over the node tree recursively, and displays information about Element and Text nodes.
