Gets the qualified name of the current node.
public:
virtual property System::String ^ Name { System::String ^ get(); };
public override string Name { get; }
member this.Name : string
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Name As String
Property Value
The qualified name of the current node. For example, Name
is bk:book
for the element <bk:book>
.
The name returned is dependent on the NodeType of the node. The following node types return the listed values. All other node types return an empty string.
Node Type | Name |
---|---|
Attribute | The name of the attribute. |
DocumentType | The document type name. |
Element | The tag name. |
EntityReference | The name of the entity referenced. |
ProcessingInstruction | The target of the processing instruction. |
XmlDeclaration | The literal string xml .
|
Examples
The following example reads an XML file and displays each of the nodes.
#using <System.Xml.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
XmlTextReader^ txtreader = nullptr;
XmlValidatingReader^ reader = nullptr;

try
{
//Load the reader with the data file and ignore all white space nodes.
txtreader = gcnew XmlTextReader( filename );
txtreader->WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling::None;
//Implement the validating reader over the text reader.
reader = gcnew XmlValidatingReader( txtreader );
reader->ValidationType = ValidationType::None;
//Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
while ( reader->Read() )

The example uses the file, items.xml
, as input.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This is a sample XML document -->
<!DOCTYPE Items [<!ENTITY number "123">]>
<Items>
<Item>Test with an entity: &number;</Item>
<Item>test with a child element <more/> stuff</Item>
<Item>test with a CDATA section <![CDATA[<456>]]> def</Item>
<Item>Test with a char entity: A</Item>
<!-- Fourteen chars in this element.-->
<Item>1234567890ABCD</Item>
</Items>
Remarks
Note
The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0. You can create a validating XmlReader instance by using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see the Remarks section of the XmlReader reference page.
