XPathNavigator::ValueAsDateTime Property

 

Gets the current node's value as a DateTime.

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

public:
property DateTime ValueAsDateTime {
	virtual DateTime get() override;
}

Property Value

Type: System::DateTime

The current node's value as a DateTime.

Exception Condition
FormatException

The current node's string value cannot be converted to a DateTime.

InvalidCastException

The attempted cast to DateTime is not valid.

If the XPathNavigator has schema or type information (for example, from an XmlDocument object initialized with an XML schema validating XmlReader), and if the current node is defined as an XML Schema xs:datetime type, the ValueAsDateTime property returns the current node's value as an unboxed DateTime object.

However, if the XPathNavigator does not have any schema or type information, the ValueAsDateTime property attempts to convert the string value of the current node to a DateTime value, according to the XPath 2.0 casting rules for xs:datetime.

For an example of the ValueAsDateTime property, see the ValueAsBoolean property.
