Remarks

You can use processing instructions in XML to indicate that an XML document can be processed by some processor, such as XSLT.

Processing instructions are nodes in the XML tree. When a processing instruction is found in the XML being parsed, LINQ to XML creates an XProcessingInstruction node.

Constructors

XProcessingInstruction(String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the XProcessingInstruction class.
XProcessingInstruction(XProcessingInstruction)	Initializes a new instance of the XProcessingInstruction class.

Properties

Document	Gets the XDocument for this XObject. (Inherited from XObject)
NextNode	Gets the next sibling node of this node. (Inherited from XNode)
NodeType	Gets the node type for this node.
Parent	Gets the parent XElement of this XObject. (Inherited from XObject)
PreviousNode	Gets the previous sibling node of this node. (Inherited from XNode)
Target	Gets or sets a string containing the target application for this processing instruction.

Methods
