IXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString (C#)

The nodeTypeString property returns the node type in string form.

Syntax

  string = IXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString;

Remarks

The property is read-only. It contains the string version of the node type. To return the enumeration value, use the nodeType property.

The value of the string returned depends on the type of node on which the nodeTypeString property is called, as shown in the following table. For example, if the node type is NODE_ELEMENT, a string is returned containing the word "element".

Node type Value returned
NODE_ATTRIBUTE Returns "attribute".
NODE_COMMENT Returns "comment".
NODE_DOCUMENT Returns "document".
NODE_ELEMENT Returns "element".
NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION Returns "processinginstruction".
NODE_TEXT Returns "text".

Example Code

The following example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its node type in string form, in this case, "element".

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using interop_msxml;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IXMLDOMDocument Playlist;
IXMLDOMNode currNode;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Create a new playlist object.
    Playlist = Server.CreatePlaylist();

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

    // Retrieve the first child node of the root element and 
    // display its node type as a string.
    currNode = Playlist.documentElement.childNodes[0];
    MessageBox.Show(currNode.nodeTypeString);
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
