XmlElement::CloneNode Method (Boolean)
.NET Framework (current version)
Creates a duplicate of this node.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters
- deep
-
Type:
System::Boolean
true to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself (and its attributes if the node is an XmlElement).
This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent (ParentNode returns null).
The following example creates a new element, clones it, and then adds both elements into an XML document.
#using <System.Xml.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::IO; using namespace System::Xml; int main() { XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument; doc->Load( "2books.xml" ); // Create a new element. XmlElement^ elem = doc->CreateElement( "misc" ); elem->InnerText = "hardcover"; elem->SetAttribute( "publisher", "WorldWide Publishing" ); // Clone the element so we can add one to each of the book nodes. XmlNode^ elem2 = elem->CloneNode( true ); // Add the new elements. doc->DocumentElement->FirstChild->AppendChild( elem ); doc->DocumentElement->LastChild->AppendChild( elem2 ); Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML..." ); doc->Save( Console::Out ); }
