Overview
Another core part of the System.Xml class library, the XmlElement
class represents element nodes within XML documents. It contains many important
methods, including a variety of Get, Insert, and Remove methods used to
manipulate the structure and content of XmlDocument objects.
Example (VB.NET): Two
ways to loop through an XML document's XmlElement nodes.
In the example below we demonstrate how to step through the
contents of an XML document in order to extract XmlElement node information.
The first For Each construct loops through the
XmlDocument.DocumentElement.ChildNodes collection and looks for any nodes that
are XmlElements. It then displays properties of each element. The second For
Each construct does the same, except that this time we look for all nodes
within the ChildNodes collection, and then test each node to determine whether
it is of type “Element”, prior to displaying its properties.
Dim objDocument As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
Dim objElement As System.Xml.XmlElement
Dim objXmlNodeList As System.Xml.XmlNodeList
Dim objXmlNode As System.Xml.XmlNode
Dim strValues As String
objDocument.LoadXml("<sampleElement1><sampleElement2>We
are demonstrating XML.</sampleElement2></sampleElement1>")
