Methods

Name

Description

AppendChildNode

Appends a single node as the last child under the context element node in the tree.

AppendChildSubtree

Adds a subtree as the last child under the context element node in the tree.

Delete

Deletes the current node from the tree (including all of its children, if any exist).

HasChildNodes

Gets True if the current element node has child element nodes.

InsertNodeBefore

Inserts a new node just before the context node in the tree.

InsertSubtreeBefore

Inserts the specified subtree into the location just before the context node.

RemoveChild

Removes the specified child node from the tree.

ReplaceChildNode

Removes the specified child node (and its subtree) from the main tree, and replaces it with a different node in the same location.

ReplaceChildSubtree

Removes the specified node (and its subtree) from the main tree, and replaces it with a different subtree in the same location.

SelectNodes

Selects a collection of nodes matching an XPath expression. This method differs from the CustomXMLPart.SelectNodes method in that the XPath expression will be evaluated starting with the 'expression' node as the context node.

SelectSingleNode

Selects a single node from a collection matching an XPath expression. This method differs from the CustomXMLPart.SelectSingleNode method in that the XPath expression will be evaluated starting with the 'expression' node as the context node.
