Examples

The following code example uses the ChildNodes property to create a list of the names of all child nodes of an XMLNode control. It then displays the list in a message box. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerNode.

Private Sub DisplayChildNodes()
    Dim childNodeNames As New System.Text.StringBuilder()

    If Me.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes Then
        childNodeNames.Append(Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            " has the children: ")

        Dim childElement As Word.XMLNode
        For Each childElement In Me.CustomerNode.ChildNodes
            childNodeNames.Append("  " & childElement.BaseName)
        Next childElement

        MsgBox(childNodeNames.ToString())
    Else
        MsgBox("'" & Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            "' has no child nodes.")
    End If 
End Sub

private void DisplayChildNodes()
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder childNodeNames = 
        new System.Text.StringBuilder();

    if (this.CustomerNode.HasChildNodes)
    {
        childNodeNames.Append(this.CustomerNode.BaseName + 
            " has the children: ");

        foreach (Word.XMLNode childElement in this.CustomerNode.ChildNodes)
        {
            childNodeNames.Append("  " + childElement.BaseName);
        }

        MessageBox.Show(childNodeNames.ToString());
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("'" + this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
            "' has no child nodes.");
    }
}
