Property Value
Type: XMLNode
A XMLNode object that represents the previous XMLNode object in the document that is at the same level as the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode control.

Examples
The following code example uses the PreviousSibling and NextSibling properties to display the names of the elements before and after an XMLNode control. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerFirstNameNode.
Private Sub DisplaySiblings()
' Display the previous sibling, if one exists.
If Not (Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.PreviousSibling Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox("The previous sibling of '" & _
Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName & "' is '" & _
Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.PreviousSibling.BaseName & "'.")
Else
MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName & _
"' is the first node in its hierarchy.")
End If
' Display the next sibling, if one exists.
If Not (Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.NextSibling Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox("The next sibling of '" & _
Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName & "' is '" & _
Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.NextSibling.BaseName & "'.")
Else
MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName & _
"' is the last node in its hierarchy.")
End If
End Sub
private void DisplaySiblings()
{
// Display the previous sibling, if one exists.
if (this.CustomerFirstNameNode.PreviousSibling != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("The previous sibling of '" +
this.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName + "' is '" +
this.CustomerFirstNameNode.PreviousSibling.BaseName +
"'.");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName +
"' is the first node in its hierarchy.");
}
// Display the next sibling, if one exists.
if (this.CustomerFirstNameNode.NextSibling != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("The next sibling of '" +
this.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName + "' is '" +
this.CustomerFirstNameNode.NextSibling.BaseName +
"'.");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerFirstNameNode.BaseName +
"' is the last node in its hierarchy.");
