XPathNavigator::InsertAfter Method (XmlReader^)
Creates a new sibling node after the currently selected node using the XML contents of the XmlReader object specified.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The XmlReader object is in an error state or closed. |
| ArgumentNullException | The XmlReader object parameter is null. |
| InvalidOperationException | The position of the XPathNavigator does not allow a new sibling node to be inserted after the current node. |
| NotSupportedException | The XPathNavigator does not support editing. |
| XmlException | The XML contents of the XmlReader object parameter is not well-formed. |
The following are important notes to consider when using the InsertAfter method.
If the XmlReader object is positioned over a sequence of XML nodes, all the nodes in the sequence are added.
The InsertAfter method is valid only when the XPathNavigator is positioned on an element, text, processing instruction, or comment node.
The InsertAfter method does not affect the position of the XPathNavigator.
In the following example a new pages element is inserted after the price child element of the first book element in the contosoBooks.xml file using the XmlReader object specified. The http://www.contoso.com/books namespace is specified so that the new sibling element is inserted using the same namespace as the XML document.
XmlDocument^ document = gcnew XmlDocument(); document->Load("contosoBooks.xml"); XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator(); navigator->MoveToChild("bookstore", "http://www.contoso.com/books"); navigator->MoveToChild("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books"); navigator->MoveToChild("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books"); XmlReader^ pages = XmlReader::Create(gcnew StringReader("<pages xmlns=\"http://www.contoso.com/books\">100</pages>")); navigator->InsertAfter(pages); navigator->MoveToParent(); Console::WriteLine(navigator->OuterXml);
The example takes the contosoBooks.xml file as an input.
