IXMLDOMNode.nodeName (Visual Basic .NET)

The nodeName property contains the qualified name of the element, attribute, or entity reference, or a fixed string for other node types.

Syntax

  String = IXMLDOMNode.nodeName

Remarks

The property is read-only and always contains a non-empty string. The nodeName property contains the name for the element, attribute, or entity reference.

The value of the string returned depends on the type of node on which the nodeName property is called, as shown in the following table. For example, if the node type is NODE_ELEMENT, a string is returned containing the name of the XML tag for that element node.

Value	Description
NODE_ATTRIBUTE	Contains the name of the attribute.
NODE_COMMENT	Contains the literal string "#comment".
NODE_DOCUMENT	Contains the literal string "#document".
NODE_ELEMENT	Contains the name of the XML tag, with any namespace prefix included if present.
NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION	Contains the target; the first token following the <? characters.
NODE_TEXT	Contains the literal string "#text".
