Private Sub DisplayFirstChildName()
If Me.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes Then
MsgBox("The first child of '" & Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
"' is '" & Me.CustomerNode.FirstChild.BaseName & "'.")
Else
MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
"' has no child nodes.")
End If
End Sub
private void DisplayFirstChildName()
{
if (this.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes)
{
MessageBox.Show("The first child of '" +
this.CustomerNode.BaseName + "' is '" +
this.CustomerNode.FirstChild.BaseName + "'.");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
"' has no child nodes.");
}
