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
The node type. For XProcessingInstruction objects, this value is ProcessingInstruction.
Examples
The following example creates a processing instruction, and then prints its node type.
XProcessingInstruction pi =
new XProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"hello.xsl\"");
Console.WriteLine(pi.NodeType);
Dim pi As XProcessingInstruction = _
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hello.xsl"?>
Console.WriteLine(pi.NodeType.ToString)
This example produces the following output:
ProcessingInstruction
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.
