Overview
This important class offers numerous string manipulation
methods. It also can be implemented using the following, more specialized
character classes: XmlCDataSection, XmlComment, XmlSignificantWhitespace, XmlText,
and XmlWhitespace.
Example (VB.NET):
How to create and assign a value to an XMLCharacterData object using the
XMLDocument.CreateCharacterData method.
The example below loads a sample XML construct, and then
adds a child element to the parent “sampleElement1”. The CreateTextNode method
of the XMLdocument class is used to create an XMLCharacterData object, and assign
it a textual value. This value is later assigned to the newly inserted element,,
using the XMLElement.AppendChild method. The modified XML document contents are
then displayed.
Dim objDocument As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
Dim objCharacterData As System.Xml.XmlCharacterData
Dim objElement As System.Xml.XmlElement
objDocument.LoadXml("<sampleElement1><sampleElement2>Sample
Text for sameleElement1</sampleElement2></sampleElement1>")
objCharacterData = objDocument.CreateTextNode("Sample
Text for new element")
