LinkedListNode<T>.Next Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Collections.Generic

Assembly:

System.Collections.dll

Source:

LinkedList.cs

Gets the next node in the LinkedList<T>.

public:
 property System::Collections::Generic::LinkedListNode<T> ^ Next { System::Collections::Generic::LinkedListNode<T> ^ get(); };

public System.Collections.Generic.LinkedListNode<T>? Next { get; }

member this.Next : System.Collections.Generic.LinkedListNode<'T>

Public ReadOnly Property Next As LinkedListNode(Of T)

Property Value

LinkedListNode<T>

A reference to the next node in the LinkedList<T>, or null if the current node is the last element (Last) of the LinkedList<T>.

Examples

The following code example creates a LinkedListNode<T>, adds it to a LinkedList<T>, and tracks the values of its properties as the LinkedList<T> changes.

#using <System.dll>

      DisplayProperties( lln );

      // Create a new LinkedList.
      LinkedList<String^>^ ll = gcnew LinkedList<String^>();

      // Add the "orange" node and display its properties.

      // Add nodes before and after the "orange" node and display the "orange" node's properties.
