XPathExpression.ReturnType Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
When overridden in a derived class, gets the result type of the XPath expression.
public:
abstract property System::Xml::XPath::XPathResultType ReturnType { System::Xml::XPath::XPathResultType get(); };
public abstract System.Xml.XPath.XPathResultType ReturnType { get; }
member this.ReturnType : System.Xml.XPath.XPathResultType
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property ReturnType As XPathResultType
Property Value
An XPathResultType value representing the result type of the XPath expression.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the XPath return type to determine how to process the XPath expression.
public ref class Sample
{
public:
static void Evaluate( XPathExpression^ expr, XPathNavigator^ nav )
{
XPathNodeIterator^ i = nav->Select(expr);
switch ( expr->ReturnType )
{
case XPathResultType::Number:
Console::WriteLine( nav->Evaluate( expr ) );
break;
case XPathResultType::NodeSet:
while ( i->MoveNext() )
Console::WriteLine( i->Current );
break;
case XPathResultType::Boolean:
if ( *safe_cast<bool^>(nav->Evaluate( expr )) )
Console::WriteLine( "True!" );
break;
case XPathResultType::String:
Console::WriteLine( nav->Evaluate( expr ) );
break;
}
}
};
int main()
{
XPathDocument^ doc = gcnew XPathDocument( "contosoBooks.xml" );
XPathNavigator^ nav = doc->CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression^ expr1 = nav->Compile( ".//price/text()*10" ); // Returns a number.
XPathExpression^ expr2 = nav->Compile( "bookstore/book/price" ); // Returns a nodeset.
Sample^ MySample = gcnew Sample;
MySample->Evaluate( expr1, nav );
MySample->Evaluate( expr2, nav );
}

Console.WriteLine("True!");
