Overview

This specialized class is derived from the XmlCharacterData class, and is used to represent textual element values. It provides string manipulation methods that can be used to further process text content.

Example (VB.NET): How to insert elements with text values using the XMLDocument.CreateTextNode method and the XMLText class.

This example takes an empty XML document with one root element, and inserts three child elements, each with text values, using the XMLDocument.CreateTextNode method and the XMLText class. Each child is appended to the end of the document, using the XMLDocument.LastChild.AppendChild method.

Dim objDocument As New System.Xml.XmlDocument

Dim objElement As System.Xml.XmlElement

Dim objText As System.Xml.XmlText

objDocument.LoadXml("<parentElement1></parentElement1>")

objElement = objDocument.CreateElement("childElement1")

objText = objDocument.CreateTextNode("Test Value 1")

objDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(objElement)

objDocument.DocumentElement.LastChild.AppendChild(objText)

objElement = objDocument.CreateElement("childElement2")

objText = objDocument.CreateTextNode("Test Value 2")

objDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(objElement)

objDocument.DocumentElement.LastChild.AppendChild(objText)
