Returns a collection of elements that contains the ancestors of every node in the source collection.

Overloads

Ancestors<T>(IEnumerable<T>)	Returns a collection of elements that contains the ancestors of every node in the source collection.
Ancestors<T>(IEnumerable<T>, XName)	Returns a filtered collection of elements that contains the ancestors of every node in the source collection. Only elements that have a matching XName are included in the collection.

Remarks

If multiple nodes in the source collection have the same ancestor, the ancestor will be included multiple times in the result collection. To avoid this, use the Distinct method.

This method uses deferred execution.

generic <typename T>
 where T : System::Xml::Linq::XNode[System::Runtime::CompilerServices::Extension]
 static System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Xml::Linq::XElement ^> ^ Ancestors(System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<T> ^ source);

static member Ancestors : seq<'T (requires 'T :> System.Xml.Linq.XNode)> -> seq<System.Xml.Linq.XElement> (requires 'T :> System.Xml.Linq.XNode)

<Extension()>
Public Function Ancestors(Of T As XNode) (source As IEnumerable(Of T)) As IEnumerable(Of XElement)

Type Parameters

T

The type of the objects in source, constrained to XNode.

Parameters

source: IEnumerable<T>

An IEnumerable<T> of XNode that contains the source collection.

Returns

IEnumerable<XElement>

An IEnumerable<T> of XElement that contains the ancestors of every node in the source collection.

Examples

The following example retrieves a collection of the great grandchildren elements. It then uses this axis method to retrieve all ancestors of all elements in the collection.

XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",  
    new XElement("Child1",  
        new XElement("GrandChild1",  
            new XElement("GreatGrandChild1", "content")  
        )  
    ),  
    new XElement("Child2",  
        new XElement("GrandChild2",  
            new XElement("GreatGrandChild2", "content")  
        )  
    )  
);  
IEnumerable<XElement> greatGrandChildren =  
    from el in xmlTree.Descendants()  
    where el.Name.LocalName.StartsWith("Great")  
    select el;  

Console.WriteLine("Great Grand Children Elements");  
Console.WriteLine("----");  
foreach (XElement de in greatGrandChildren)  
    Console.WriteLine(de.Name);  

IEnumerable<XElement> allAncestors =  
    from el in greatGrandChildren.Ancestors().Distinct()  
    select el;  

Console.WriteLine("");  
Console.WriteLine("Ancestors");  
Console.WriteLine("----");  
foreach (XElement de in allAncestors)  
    Console.WriteLine(de.Name);

Dim xmlTree As XElement = _  
    <Root>  
        <Child1>  
            <GrandChild1>  
                <GreatGrandChild1>content</GreatGrandChild1>  
            </GrandChild1>  
        </Child1>  
        <Child2>  
            <GrandChild2>  
                <GreatGrandChild2>content</GreatGrandChild2>  
            </GrandChild2>  
        </Child2>  
    </Root>  

Dim greatGrandChildren = From el In xmlTree.Descendants _  
                         Where el.Name.LocalName.StartsWith("Great") _  
                         Select el  

Console.WriteLine("Great Grand Children Elements")  
Console.WriteLine("----")  

For Each de As XElement In greatGrandChildren  
    Console.WriteLine(de.Name)  
Next  

Dim allAncestors = From el In greatGrandChildren.Ancestors.Distinct _  
                   Select el  

Console.WriteLine("")  
Console.WriteLine("Ancestors")  
Console.WriteLine("----")  

For Each de As XElement In allAncestors  
    Console.WriteLine(de.Name)  
Next

This example produces the following output:

Great Grand Children Elements  
----  
GreatGrandChild1  
GreatGrandChild2  

Ancestors  
----  
GrandChild1  
Child1  
Root
