XComment.NodeType Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml.Linq

Assembly:

System.Xml.XDocument.dll

Source:

XComment.cs

Gets the node type for this node.

public:
 virtual property System::Xml::XmlNodeType NodeType { System::Xml::XmlNodeType get(); };

public override System.Xml.XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }

member this.NodeType : System.Xml.XmlNodeType

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property NodeType As XmlNodeType

Property Value

XmlNodeType

The node type. For XComment objects, this value is Comment.

Examples

The following example creates a comment node and prints its node type.

XComment com = new XComment("This is a comment");  
XNode node = com;  
Console.WriteLine(node.NodeType);  

Dim com As XComment = New XComment("This is a comment")  
Dim node As XNode = com  
Console.WriteLine(node.NodeType.ToString())  

This example produces the following output:

Comment  

Remarks

Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of concrete subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each node in the collection.
