IXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString (C#)

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 IXMLDOMNodeIXMLDOMNode Object (C#) and displays its node type in string form, in this case, "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 as a string.
    currNode = Playlist.documentElement.childNodes[0];
    MessageBox.Show(currNode.nodeTypeString);
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
