Selects all the ancestor nodes of the current node that have a matching XPathNodeType.

public:
 virtual System::Xml::XPath::XPathNodeIterator ^ SelectAncestors(System::Xml::XPath::XPathNodeType type, bool matchSelf);
public virtual System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator SelectAncestors (System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeType type, bool matchSelf);
abstract member SelectAncestors : System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeType * bool -> System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator
override this.SelectAncestors : System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeType * bool -> System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator
Public Overridable Function SelectAncestors (type As XPathNodeType, matchSelf As Boolean) As XPathNodeIterator

Parameters

type
XPathNodeType

The XPathNodeType of the ancestor nodes.

matchSelf
Boolean

To include the context node in the selection, true; otherwise, false.

Returns

XPathNodeIterator

An XPathNodeIterator that contains the selected nodes. The returned nodes are in reverse document order.

Examples

For an example of selecting ancestor nodes, see XPathNavigator.SelectAncestors.

Remarks

The SelectAncestors method has no effect on the state of the XPathNavigator.

Examples

The following example illustrates selecting ancestor, child, and descendant nodes.

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

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

// Select all the descendant nodes of the book node.
XPathNodeIterator^ bookDescendants = navigator->SelectDescendants("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", false);

// Display the LocalName of each descendant node.
Console::WriteLine("Descendant nodes of the book node:");
while (bookDescendants->MoveNext())
{
    Console::WriteLine(bookDescendants->Current->Name);
}

// Select all the child nodes of the book node.
XPathNodeIterator^ bookChildren = navigator->SelectChildren("", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

// Display the LocalName of each child node.
Console::WriteLine("\nChild nodes of the book node:");
while (bookChildren->MoveNext())
{
    Console::WriteLine(bookChildren->Current->Name);
}

// Select all the ancestor nodes of the title node.
navigator->MoveToChild("title", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

XPathNodeIterator^ bookAncestors = navigator->SelectAncestors("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", false);

// Display the LocalName of each ancestor node.
Console::WriteLine("\nAncestor nodes of the title node:");

while (bookAncestors->MoveNext())
{
    Console::WriteLine(bookAncestors->Current->Name);
}

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

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

// Select all the descendant nodes of the book node.
XPathNodeIterator bookDescendants = navigator.SelectDescendants("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", false);

// Display the LocalName of each descendant node.
Console.WriteLine("Descendant nodes of the book node:");
while (bookDescendants.MoveNext())
{
    Console.WriteLine(bookDescendants.Current.Name);
}

// Select all the child nodes of the book node.
XPathNodeIterator bookChildren = navigator.SelectChildren("", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

// Display the LocalName of each child node.
Console.WriteLine("\nChild nodes of the book node:");
while (bookChildren.MoveNext())
{
    Console.WriteLine(bookChildren.Current.Name);
}

// Select all the ancestor nodes of the title node.
navigator.MoveToChild("title", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

XPathNodeIterator bookAncestors = navigator.SelectAncestors("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", false);

// Display the LocalName of each ancestor node.
Console.WriteLine("\nAncestor nodes of the title node:");

while (bookAncestors.MoveNext())
{
    Console.WriteLine(bookAncestors.Current.Name);
}

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

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

' Select all the descendant nodes of the book node.
Dim bookDescendants As XPathNodeIterator = navigator.SelectDescendants("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", False)

' Display the LocalName of each descendant node.
Console.WriteLine("Descendant nodes of the book node:")
While bookDescendants.MoveNext()
    Console.WriteLine(bookDescendants.Current.Name)
End While

' Select all the child nodes of the book node.
Dim bookChildren As XPathNodeIterator = navigator.SelectChildren("", "http://www.contoso.com/books")

' Display the LocalName of each child node.
Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf & "Child nodes of the book node:")
While bookChildren.MoveNext()
    Console.WriteLine(bookChildren.Current.Name)
End While

' Select all the ancestor nodes of the title node.
navigator.MoveToChild("title", "http://www.contoso.com/books")

Dim bookAncestors As XPathNodeIterator = navigator.SelectAncestors("", "http://www.contoso.com/books", False)

' Display the LocalName of each ancestor node.
Console.WriteLine(vbCrLf & "Ancestor nodes of the title node:")

While bookAncestors.MoveNext()
    Console.WriteLine(bookAncestors.Current.Name)
End While

The example takes the contosoBooks.xml file as an input.

Remarks

If String.Empty is specified as the name parameter, all ancestor nodes that belong to the specified namespace URI are selected. If String.Empty is specified as the namespaceURI parameter, all ancestor nodes with the specified local name that belong to no namespace are selected. If String.Empty is specified as both the local name and namespace URI, all ancestor nodes that belong to no namespace are selected.

The SelectAncestors method has no effect on the state of the XPathNavigator.
