System.Xml.XmlProcessingInstruction.CloneNode Method

Creates a duplicate of this node.

Syntax

public override XmlNode CloneNode (bool deep)

Parameters

deep
true to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

Returns

The duplicate node.

Remarks

CloneNode serves as a copy constructor for nodes. For processing instruction nodes, the cloned node always includes the target and data. To see how this method behaves with other node types, see the XmlNode.CloneNode(bool) method in the XmlNode class.

The cloned node has no parent (XmlNode.ParentNode returns null).

Requirements
