Sets the value of the current node.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters

Type:
System::String^
The new value of the node.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The value parameter is null. |
| InvalidOperationException | The XPathNavigator is positioned on the root node, a namespace node, or the specified value is invalid. |
| NotSupportedException | The XPathNavigator does not support editing. |
If the XPathNavigator is positioned on an element node with complex content (child elements), calling the SetValue method replaces the child elements with a text node containing the new string value.
The SetValue method cannot update the root node or namespace nodes.
In the following example, the SetValue method is used to update all price elements in the contosoBooks.xml file using the XmlNamespaceManager object to resolve namespace prefixes in the XPath expression.
XmlDocument^ document = gcnew XmlDocument(); document->Load("contosoBooks.xml"); XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator(); XmlNamespaceManager^ manager = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager(navigator->NameTable); manager->AddNamespace("bk", "http://www.contoso.com/books"); for each (XPathNavigator^ nav in navigator->Select("//bk:price", manager)) { if(nav->Value == "11.99") { nav->SetValue("12.99"); } } Console::WriteLine(navigator->OuterXml);
The example takes the contosoBooks.xml file as an input.
