IXMLDOMElement Object (C#)

IXMLDOMElement Object (C#)

The IXMLDOMElement object represents the element object. For more information, see the Microsoft XML SDK 3.0 documentation available at the Microsoft Web site.

The IXMLDOMElement object supports the following properties and methods.

*Denotes an extension to the W3C DOM.

• Note   For detailed information about using the C++ programming language to access the IXMLDOMElement object, see the IXMLDOMElement interface.

Remarks

Element nodes are among the most common objects in the XML document tree. Element nodes can have attributes associated with them. By definition, attributes are not defined as child nodes of the element and are not considered to be part of the document tree. Accordingly, the IXMLDOMElement object provides methods to make it easier to manage attributes, including methods to associate an attribute with an element, and to retrieve an attribute object and the attribute value by name.

To retrieve the set of all attributes associated with the element, you can also call the getAttribute method, which returns an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap collection object that contains all the attributes of the element.

Example Code

The following example creates an IXMLDOMElement object and assigns it to the root element of an XML document.

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using interop_msxml;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IXMLDOMDocument Playlist;
IXMLDOMElement newRoot;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Create a new playlist object.
    Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist();

    // Create a new element named root.
    newRoot = Playlist.createElement("root");

    // Assign newRoot as the new document
    // element for the XML document.
    Playlist.documentElement = newRoot;
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
