Examples

The following code example demonstrates how use the Depth property to determine the depth of a node. It initializes all nodes with a depth of one to a selected state. For this example to work correctly, you must copy the sample XML data below to a file named Newsgroup.xml.

The following code is sample XML data for the previous example.

<category name="news.microsoft.com">  
    <group name="microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet"/>  
    <group name="microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.mobile"/>  
    <group name="microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webservices"/>  
</category>

Remarks

Use the Depth property to determine the depth of the node. The depth represents the number of levels of hierarchy between a node and the root node. For example, a root node has a depth of zero. A child of the root node has a depth of one, and so on.
