Bookmark.XML Property

Definition

Gets the XML text in the Bookmark control.

C#
public Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark_XMLType XML { get; }

Property Value

The XML text in the Bookmark control.

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control to the document and then inserts XML text into the bookmark. A message box then displays the total number of XMLNodes and the XML content of the bookmark.

This example is for a document-level customization.

C#
private void BookmarkInsertXML()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    bookmark1.Text = "Sample of bookmark text.";
    
    bookmark1.Words[1].InsertXML("<example>This is an example.</example>",
        ref missing);

    MessageBox.Show("Total XMLNodes in bookmark1: " + bookmark1.XMLNodes.Count +
        "\n" + "XML contents: " + bookmark1.XML[true]);
}

Remarks

The XML property is intended to be used with the following parameter.

Parameter Description
DataOnly true to return the text of the XML without the Word XML markup; otherwise, false.

If you use the XML property without specifying a parameter, it returns a Bookmark_XMLType object that is not intended to be used directly from your code.
