Description
Creates a new node that is associated with this document.
Call CreateNode to create a new generic XML node. The resulting node does not have a parent, but can be added to the ChildNodes or AttributeNodes list of any node in the document (including this document's ChildNodes property). It can also be assigned to the DocumentElement property to replace the entire data hierarchy of this document.
NameOrData provides the tag name or value of the newly created node. Its interpretation depends on the type of node created, as indicated in the following table:
NodeType | NameOrData |
---|---|
ntElement |
The tag name |
ntAttribute |
The attribute name |
ntText |
The value of the node |
ntCData |
The value of the CDATA section |
ntEntityRef |
The name of the referenced entity |
ntProcessingInstr |
The target of the processing instruction |
ntComment |
The value (text) of the comment |
ntDocFragment |
Not used |
ntElement |
The namespace URI that qualifies the tag name |
ntAttribute |
The namespace URI that qualifies the attribute name |
ntProcessingInstr |
The content of the processing instruction, except for the target |
NodeType indicates the type of node to create. It can only be one of the types listed in the previous table.
The meaning of AddlData depends on the node type, as indicated in the following table:
NodeType | AddlData |
---|---|
ntElement |
The namespace URI that qualifies the tag name |
ntAttribute |
The namespace URI that qualifies the attribute name |
ntProcessingInstr |
The content of the processing instruction, except for the target |
CreateNode returns the interface for the new node.
Note: To add a node as the child of another node in this document, it is simpler to call that node's AddChild method.
