Gets the node type for this node.
public:
virtual property System::Xml::XmlNodeType NodeType { System::Xml::XmlNodeType get(); };public override System.Xml.XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }member this.NodeType : System.Xml.XmlNodeTypePublic Overrides ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeTypeProperty Value
The node type. For XAttribute objects, this value is Attribute.
Examples
The following example creates an attribute, and then displays the node type using this property.
XElement root = new XElement("Root",
new XAttribute("Att", "content")
);
XAttribute att = root.FirstAttribute;
Console.WriteLine(att.NodeType);
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att="content"/>
Dim att As XAttribute = root.FirstAttribute
Console.WriteLine(att.NodeType.ToString)
This example produces the following output:
Attribute
Remarks
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.
