This class provides functionality such as finding the next or previous sibling node, or enumerating the direct children of a node.

The two classes that derive from XContainer are XDocument and XElement.

The following example creates two XML trees, and then uses this method to add the results of a query to one of them.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
