Examples
The following example shows the use of this property.
// Note that this property uses XmlNodeType, which is in the System.Xml namespace.
XDocument xmlTree = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
new XElement("Root", "content")
);
Console.WriteLine(xmlTree.NodeType);
' Note that this property uses XmlNodeType, which is in the System.Xml namespace.
Dim xmlTree As XDocument = _
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes'?>
<Root>content</Root>
Console.WriteLine("{0}", xmlTree.NodeType)
This example produces the following output:
Document
Remarks
Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of objects where the type of each is a subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each object in the collection.
