IXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString (Visual Basic .NET)

The nodeTypeString property returns the node type in string form.

String = IXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString

Remarks

The property is read-only. It contains the string version of the node type. To return the enumeration value, use the nodeType property.

The value of the string returned depends on the type of node on which the nodeTypeString property is called, as shown in the following table. For example, if the node type is NODE_ELEMENT, a string is returned containing the word "element".

Node type	Value returned
NODE_ATTRIBUTE	Returns "attribute".
NODE_COMMENT	Returns "comment".
NODE_DOCUMENT	Returns "document".
NODE_ELEMENT	Returns "element".
NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION	Returns "processinginstruction".
NODE_TEXT	Returns "text".

Example

The following example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its node type in string form, in this case, "element".

Imports interop_msxml
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop

On Error GoTo Err

' Declare variables.
Dim Server As New WMSServerClass()
Dim Playlist As IXMLDOMDocument
Dim currNode As IXMLDOMNode

' Create a new playlist object.
Set 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 as a string.
Set currNode = Playlist.documentElement.childNodes.Item(0)
MsgBox currNode.nodeTypeString
Exit Sub

Err:
' TODO: Handle errors.
