An XPathNavigator is a descendant of the current XPathNavigator if it is positioned on a descendant node of the current XPathNavigator. Take, for example, the following XML string:
<item><name>widget</name></item>
If the current XPathNavigator is positioned on the item
node, and the XPathNavigator specified is positioned on the name
node, IsDescendant returns true
.
This method always returns false
under the following conditions:
The XPathNavigator specified shares the same implementation but points at a different document instance than the current navigator.
The XPathNavigator specified has a different implementation than the current navigator.
