XObject.NodeType Property

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Gets the node type for this XObject.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeType

Property Value

Type: System.Xml.XmlNodeType
The node type for this XObject.

Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of concrete subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each node in the collection.

The following example uses this method to retrieve the node type for a variety of nodes.


Dim output As New StringBuilder
' Note that XNode uses XmlNodeType, which is in the System.Xml  namespace.
Dim xmlTree As XDocument = _
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!--a comment-->
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hello.xsl"?>
    <Root Att="attContent">
        <Child1><![CDATA[CDATA content]]></Child1>
        <Child2>Text content</Child2>
    </Root>

For Each node As XNode In xmlTree.DescendantNodes
    output.Append(node.NodeType.ToString())
    output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
    If node.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then
        For Each att In DirectCast(node, XElement).Attributes
            output.Append(att.NodeType.ToString())
            output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
        Next
    End If
Next


OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
