Returns the element node that is a child of the current node and has the specified element name.
…xmlnode_object.GetElementNode(element)
Prerequisites
The current node must be of type "element" or "document".
Parameters
element
An optional String expression that specifies the name of the child element to be found. If the String is omitted or empty (""), the node for the first child element is returned.
Remarks
This is a convenience method that finds a named child element node. A new XmlNode object corresponding to the element is returned.
If the element parameter is omitted or empty, the first child element of the current node is returned. If there are no child elements for the current node, a Nothing object is returned.
If the element parameter is specified but no such element is found, an exception is thrown.
The element must be an immediate child of the current node.
Examples
Dim doc As XmlDoc
Dim root As XmlNode
Dim elem As XmlNode
doc = New XmlDoc("my_doc")
root = doc.DocumentElement
root.AddElement("section1", "data")
elem = root.GetElementNode("section1")
Console.Writeline(elem.Name) ' Output is "section1"
