public:
property System::String ^ OuterHtml { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };public string OuterHtml { get; set; }member this.OuterHtml : string with get, setPublic Property OuterHtml As StringProperty Value
The HTML code for the current element and its children.
Remarks
Whereas InnerHtml will return all HTML contained in the current element excluding the current element's surrounding tags, OuterHtml includes the current element's tag as well as the HTML that tag contains, for example:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<DIV id="div1">
Hello
<DIV id="div2">
World
<DIV id="div3">
How are you?
</DIV>
</DIV>
</DIV>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In this example, calling OuterHtml on div2 will return:
<DIV id="div2">
World
<DIV id="div3">
How are you?
</DIV>
</DIV>
Calling InnerHtml will return:
World
<DIV id="div3">
How are you?
</DIV>
If you assign a new value to OuterHtml, the current element reference will become invalid; it will not reflect the name, properties and child content of the HTML you have just assigned.
