XmlWriter.WriteNode Method (XPathNavigator, Boolean)

.NET Framework 2.0

Note: This method is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Copies everything from the XPathNavigator object to the writer. The position of the XPathNavigator remains unchanged.

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)

Syntax

C++

public virtual void WriteNode (
	XPathNavigator navigator,
	bool defattr
)

public void WriteNode (
	XPathNavigator navigator, 
	boolean defattr
)

JScript

public function WriteNode (
	navigator : XPathNavigator, 
	defattr : boolean
)

Parameters

navigator: The XPathNavigator to copy from.

defattr: true to copy the default attributes; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	navigator is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The following table shows the supported XPath node types for this method.

XPathNodeType	WriteNode Behavior
Root	Writes out all the nodes irrespective of type. That is, the writer consumes the XPathNavigator and writes out all the nodes from the root node (including attributes, processing instructions, comments and so on.)
Element	Writes out the element node and any attribute nodes.
Attribute	No operation. Use WriteStartAttribute or WriteAttributeString instead.
Text	Writes out the text node.
Namespace	No operation. Use the WriteStartAttribute or WriteAttributeString method to write the namespace declaration.
ProcessingInstruction	Writes out the processing instruction node.
Comment	Writes out the comment node.
SignificantWhitespace	Writes out the significant white space node.
Whitespace	Writes out the white space node.

Example

The following example uses the WriteNode method to copy a book node from one document to another.

The example uses the books.xml file as input.
