Overview
Entity references are used to represent entities declared
within an XML document's associated definition. For example & is a
commonly found entity reference that is translated into the ampersand
character. The XmlEntityReference class represents this entity reference within
an XML document, and allows these types of nodes to be programmatically
manipulated.
Example (VB.NET):
How to create and insert an XmlEntityReference using the
XmlDocument.CreateEntityReference and the XmlDocument.DocumentElement.FirstChild.AppendChild
methods.
In this short example we first load an XML document into
memory using the XmlDocument.Load method. We then create an XmlEntityReference
object, using the XmlDocument.CreateEntityReference method. Next, we navigate
to the first child element of the document's root element, and insert the
entity reference using the XmlDocument.DocumentElement.FirstChild.AppendChild
method.
Dim objDocument As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
Dim objElement As System.Xml.XmlElement
Dim objXmlEntityReference As System.Xml.XmlEntityReference
objDocument.LoadXml("<sampleElement1><sampleElement2></sampleElement2><sampleElement3>We
are demonstrating entity
references.</sampleElement3></sampleElement1>")
