Syntax
Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
A networked XML document is comprised of chunks of data aggregated using various World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard inclusion mechanisms and therefore contains nodes that come from different places. The BaseURI tells you where these nodes came from. If there is no base URI for the nodes being returned (maybe they were parsed from an in-memory string), string.Empty is returned.
BaseURI walks the node tree looking for entity reference boundaries, so if entities are expanded, this information is not preserved and this property returns the location of the XmlDocument in all cases.
For additional information on BaseURI and how it behaves with other node types, see XmlNode.BaseURI.
This property is a Microsoft extension to the Document Object Model (DOM).
