IXMLDOMNode.cloneNode (Visual Basic .NET)

The cloneNode method creates a new node that is an exact clone of this node.

Syntax

  IXMLDOMNode = IXMLDOMNode
  .cloneNode(
bdeep As Boolean
)

Parameters

bdeep

[in] Boolean flag that indicates whether to recursively clone all nodes that are descendants of this node. If True, the complete tree below this node is cloned. If False, only this node and its attributes is cloned.

Return Values

Returns the newly created clone node.

Remarks

The cloned node has the same property values as this node for the following properties: nodeName, nodeValue, nodeType, parentNode, ownerDocument, and, if it is an element, the attributes property. The value of the clone's childNodes property depends on the setting of the flag parameter.

Example Code

The following example clones a node, and then appends the clone as a child of the top-level node.

Imports interop_msxml
Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop

On Error GoTo Err

' Declare variables.
Dim Server As New WMSServerClass()
Dim Playlist As IXMLDOMDocument
Dim root As IXMLDOMElement
Dim currNode As IXMLDOMNode
Dim MyNewNode As IXMLDOMNode

' Create a new playlist object.
Set Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist

' Load a playlist.
Playlist.Load ("file://c:\wmpub\wmroot\simple.wsx")

' Retrieve the root element.
Set root = Playlist.documentElement

' Retrieve a child node and clone it.
Set currNode = root.childNodes.Item(1)
Set MyNewNode = currNode.cloneNode(True)

' Append the node as a child node of the root
' element.
root.appendChild MyNewNode
Exit Sub

Err:
' TODO: Handle errors.
