Remarks
This constructor is primarily used internally when making a deep copy of an XML tree.
Examples
This example demonstrates that creating a deep copy of an XML tree creates a copy, not a clone, of an attribute in the tree.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim root1 As XElement = <Root Att1='abc'/>
' Make a deep copy.
Dim root2 As XElement = New XElement(root1)
If root1.Attribute("Att1") Is root2.Attribute("Att1") Then
output.Append("This will not be printed")
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
Else
output.Append("Creating a deep copy created a new attribute from the original.")
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
End If
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XElement root1 = XElement.Parse("<Root Att1='abc' />");
// Make a deep copy.
XElement root2 = new XElement(root1);
if (root1.Attribute("Att1") == root2.Attribute("Att1"))
output.Append("This will not be printed" + Environment.NewLine);
else
output.Append("Creating a deep copy created a new attribute from the original." + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
