InsertBefore()

Source:: XPathNavigator.cs

Source:: XPathNavigator.cs

Source:: XPathNavigator.cs

Returns an XmlWriter object used to create a new sibling node before the currently selected node.

public:
 virtual System::Xml::XmlWriter ^ InsertBefore();

public virtual System.Xml.XmlWriter InsertBefore ();

abstract member InsertBefore : unit -> System.Xml.XmlWriter
override this.InsertBefore : unit -> System.Xml.XmlWriter

Public Overridable Function InsertBefore () As XmlWriter

Returns

XmlWriter

An XmlWriter object used to create a new sibling node before the currently selected node.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The position of the XPathNavigator does not allow a new sibling node to be inserted before the current node.

NotSupportedException

The XPathNavigator does not support editing.

Examples

In the following example a new pages element is inserted before the price child element of the first book element in the contosoBooks.xml file using the XmlWriter object returned by the InsertBefore method.

XmlDocument^ document = gcnew XmlDocument();
document->Load("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();

navigator->MoveToChild("bookstore", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
navigator->MoveToChild("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
navigator->MoveToChild("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

XmlWriter^ pages = navigator->InsertBefore();
pages->WriteElementString("pages", "100");
pages->Close();

navigator->MoveToParent();
Console::WriteLine(navigator->OuterXml);

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();

navigator.MoveToChild("bookstore", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
navigator.MoveToChild("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books");
navigator.MoveToChild("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

XmlWriter pages = navigator.InsertBefore();
pages.WriteElementString("pages", "100");
pages.Close();

navigator.MoveToParent();
Console.WriteLine(navigator.OuterXml);

Dim document As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
document.Load("contosoBooks.xml")
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = document.CreateNavigator()

navigator.MoveToChild("bookstore", "http://www.contoso.com/books")
navigator.MoveToChild("book", "http://www.contoso.com/books")
navigator.MoveToChild("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books")

Dim pages As XmlWriter = navigator.InsertBefore()
pages.WriteElementString("pages", "100")
pages.Close()

navigator.MoveToParent()
Console.WriteLine(navigator.OuterXml)
