XmlDocument::CreateTextNode Method (String^)

 

Creates an XmlText with the specified text.

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

public:
virtual XmlText^ CreateTextNode(
	String^ text
)

Parameters

text
Type: System::String^

The text for the Text node.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml::XmlText^

The new XmlText node.

Although this method creates the new object in the context of the document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods.

According to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 recommendation (www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210), Text nodes are only allowed within Element, Attribute and EntityReference nodes.

The following example creates a new element and adds it to the document.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{

   //Create the XmlDocument.
   XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
   doc->LoadXml( "<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861001-57-5'><title>Pride And Prejudice</title></book>" );

   //Create a new node and add it to the document.
   //The text node is the content of the price element.
   XmlElement^ elem = doc->CreateElement( "price" );
   XmlText^ text = doc->CreateTextNode( "19.95" );
   doc->DocumentElement->AppendChild( elem );
   doc->DocumentElement->LastChild->AppendChild( text );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML..." );
   doc->Save( Console::Out );
}
