Returns

XmlWriter

An XmlWriter object used to create a new child node at the beginning of the list of child nodes of the current node.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

The current node the XPathNavigator is positioned on does not allow a new child node to be prepended.

NotSupportedException

The XPathNavigator does not support editing.

Examples

XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();

navigator->MoveToChild("bookstore", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

Remarks

Prepending a child node adds the new node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for the current node. For example, when three child nodes exist for an element, the prepended node becomes the first child node. If no child nodes exist, then a new child node is created.

The following are important notes to consider when using the PrependChild method.

The new child node is not inserted until the Close method of the XmlWriter object is called.
The PrependChild method is valid only when the XPathNavigator is positioned on an element node.
The PrependChild method does not affect the position of the XPathNavigator.

XmlDocument^ document = gcnew XmlDocument();
document->Load("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();

Remarks

To create a new element node, include all XML syntax in the XML string parameter. The string for a new book node is PrependChild("<book/>"). The string for appending the text "book" to the current node's text node is PrependChild("book"). If the XML string contains multiple nodes, all nodes are added.

The following are important notes to consider when using the PrependChild method.

The PrependChild method is valid only when the XPathNavigator is positioned on an element node.
The PrependChild method does not affect the position of the XPathNavigator.
