XAttribute.NodeType Property

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeType

public override XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }

Remarks

Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of concrete subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each node in the collection.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute, and then displays the node type using this property.

Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att="content"/>
Dim att As XAttribute = root.FirstAttribute
output.Append(att.NodeType.ToString)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement root = new XElement("Root",
    new XAttribute("Att", "content")
);

XAttribute att = root.FirstAttribute;
output.Append(att.NodeType + Environment.NewLine);

OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
