public:
property System::String ^ TagName { System::String ^ get(); };
public string TagName { get; }
member this.TagName : string
Public ReadOnly Property TagName As String
Property Value
The name used to create this element using HTML markup.
Examples
The following code example finds all of the IMG
tags in a document, and uses the TagName
property to test whether the IMG
is hyperlinked to another page; if it is, the code assigns the URL to the ALT
attribute of the IMG
tag, so that users can mouse over the image to see where it will take them.
private void AddUrlToTooltip()
{
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
foreach (HtmlElement elem in webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("IMG"))
{
if (elem.Parent.TagName.Equals("A"))
{
String altStr = elem.GetAttribute("ALT");
if (!(altStr == null) && (altStr.Length != 0))
{
elem.SetAttribute("ALT", altStr + " - points to " + elem.Parent.GetAttribute("HREF"));
}
else
{
elem.SetAttribute("ALT", "Points to " + elem.Parent.GetAttribute("HREF"));
}
}
}
}
}
Private Sub AddUrlToTooltip()
If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
With WebBrowser1.Document
For Each Elem As HtmlElement In .GetElementsByTagName("IMG")
If (Elem.Parent.TagName.Equals("A")) Then
Dim AltStr As String = Elem.GetAttribute("ALT")
If (Not (AltStr Is Nothing) And (AltStr.Length <> 0)) Then
Elem.SetAttribute("ALT", AltStr & " - points to " & Elem.Parent.GetAttribute("HREF"))
Else
Elem.SetAttribute("ALT", "Points to " & Elem.Parent.GetAttribute("HREF"))
End If
End If
Next
End With
End If
End Sub
Remarks
Many elements in the HTML Document Object Model have attributes, properties, and methods that are unique to those elements; such as the HREF
attribute on the A
element, or the Submit
method on FORM
. Use TagName when you have an element of a potentially arbitrary type, and need to perform a type-specific operation.
