Returns a collection of elements that contain this element, and the ancestors of this element.
public:
System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Xml::Linq::XElement ^> ^ AncestorsAndSelf();public System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Xml.Linq.XElement> AncestorsAndSelf ();member this.AncestorsAndSelf : unit -> seq<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>Public Function AncestorsAndSelf () As IEnumerable(Of XElement)Returns
An IEnumerable<T> of XElement of elements that contain this element, and the ancestors of this element.
Examples
The following example creates an XML tree. It then finds the GrandChild element, and then prints the ancestors of it.
XElement xmlTree = new XElement("Root",
new XElement("Child",
new XElement("GrandChild", "element content")
)
);
XElement gc = xmlTree.Element("Child").Element("GrandChild");
IEnumerable<XElement> aas =
from el in gc.AncestorsAndSelf()
select el;
foreach (XElement el in aas)
Console.WriteLine(el.Name);
Dim xmlTree As XElement = _
<Root>
<Child>
<GrandChild>element content</GrandChild>
</Child>
</Root>
Dim GC As XElement = xmlTree.<Child>.<GrandChild>(0)
Dim aas As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = _
From el In GC.AncestorsAndSelf() _
Select el
For Each el In aas
Console.WriteLine(el.Name)
Next
This example produces the following output:
GrandChild
Child
Root
Remarks
