Returns a collection of the ancestor elements of this node.

Overloads

Ancestors()

Returns a collection of the ancestor elements of this node.
Ancestors(XName)

Returns a filtered collection of the ancestor elements of this node. Only elements that have a matching XName are included in the collection.

Remarks

Optionally a node name can be specified to filter for ancestor elements with a specific name.

The nodes in the returned collection are in reverse document order.

This method uses deferred execution.

Ancestors()

Source:
XNode.cs
Source:
XNode.cs
Source:
XNode.cs

Returns a collection of the ancestor elements of this node.

public:
 System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Xml::Linq::XElement ^> ^ Ancestors();
public System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Xml.Linq.XElement> Ancestors ();
member this.Ancestors : unit -> seq<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>
Public Function Ancestors () As IEnumerable(Of XElement)

Returns

IEnumerable<XElement>

An IEnumerable<T> of XElement of the ancestor elements of this node.

Examples

The following example uses this method to enumerate the ancestors of a node.

XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",  
    new XElement("Child",   
        new XElement("GrandChild", "content")  
    )  
);  
IEnumerable<XElement> grandChild = xmlTree.Descendants("GrandChild");  
foreach (XElement el in grandChild.Ancestors())  
    Console.WriteLine(el.Name);  

Dim xmlTree As XElement = _   
        <Root>  
            <Child>  
                <GrandChild>content</GrandChild>  
            </Child>  
        </Root>  

Dim grandChild As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = xmlTree...<GrandChild>  
For Each el In grandChild.Ancestors()  
    Console.WriteLine(el.Name)  
Next

This example produces the following output:

Child  
Root
