Returns A copy of the <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlNode" /> from which the method is called.

deep <see langword="true" /> to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; <see langword="false" /> to clone only the node itself.

public void

WriteContentTo(XmlWriter w)

Saves all the children of the node to the specified <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlWriter" /> . For <see langword="XmlEntity" /> nodes, this method has no effect.

w The <see langword="XmlWriter" /> to which you want to save.

public void

WriteTo(XmlWriter w)

Saves the node to the specified <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlWriter" /> . For <see langword="XmlEntity" /> nodes, this method has no effect.

w The <see langword="XmlWriter" /> to which you want to save.

public XmlNode

Inherited from XmlNode

Creates an <see cref="T:System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator" /> for navigating this object.

Returns An <see langword="XPathNavigator" /> object used to navigate the node. The <see langword="XPathNavigator" /> is positioned on the node from which the method was called. It is not positioned on the root of the document.

GetEnumerator()

Inherited from XmlNode

Gets an enumerator that iterates through the child nodes in the current node.

Returns An <see cref="T:System.Collections.IEnumerator" /> object that can be used to iterate through the child nodes in the current node.

Returns An <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlNodeList" /> containing a collection of nodes matching the XPath query.

xpath The XPath expression. See XPath Examples.

nsmgr An <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager" /> to use for resolving namespaces for prefixes in the XPath expression.

public XmlNode

SelectSingleNode(string xpath)

Inherited from XmlNode

Returns The first <see langword="XmlNode" /> that matches the XPath query or <see langword="null" /> if no matching node is found.

xpath The XPath expression. See XPath Examples.

public XmlNode

SelectSingleNode(string xpath, XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr)

Inherited from XmlNode
