IXMLDOMNode.nodeType (C#)
The nodeType property specifies the XML Document Object Model (DOM) node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes.
Syntax
int = IXMLDOMNode.nodeType;
Remarks
The property is read-only. It indicates the type of the node. Use the nodeTypeString property to return the node type in string form. The following table describes the possible values for the nodeType property.
| Node type | Description |
| NODE_ELEMENT (1) | The node represents an element. An element node can have the following child node types: Element, and ProcessingInstruction. An element node can be the child of the document and element nodes. |
| NODE_ATTRIBUTE (2) | The node represents an attribute of an element. An attribute does not appear as the child node of any other node type; it is not considered a child node of an element. |
| NODE_TEXT (3) | The node represents the text content of a tag. A text node cannot have any child nodes. A text node can appear as the child node of the Attribute and Element nodes. |
| NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION (7) | The node represents a processing instruction from the XML document. A processing instruction node cannot have any child nodes. A processing instruction node can appear as the child of the document and element nodes. |
| NODE_COMMENT (8) | The node represents a comment in the XML document. A comment node cannot have any child nodes. A comment node can appear as the child of document and element nodes. |
| NODE_DOCUMENT (9) | The node represents a document object that, as the root of the document tree, provides access to the entire XML document. A document node can have the following child node types: Element (maximum of one), and ProcessingInstruction. A document node cannot appear as the child of any node types. |
Example Code
The following example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its type enumeration, in this case, 1 for NODE_ELEMENT.
using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using interop_msxml;
// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IXMLDOMDocument Playlist;
IXMLDOMNode currNode;
try {
// Create a new WMSServer object.
Server = new WMSServerClass();
// Create a new playlist object.
Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist();
// Load a playlist.
Playlist.load("file://c:\\wmpub\\wmroot\\simple.wsx");
// Retrieve the first child node of the root element and
// display its node type.
currNode = Playlist.documentElement.childNodes[0];
MessageBox.Show(currNode.nodeType.ToString());
}
catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
