Remarks
If the XPathNavigator is positioned on a node that cannot have child nodes, the HasChildren property always returns false.
The following table lists the child node XPathNodeType nodes allowed for each XPathNodeType node.
| XPathNodeType Node | Child XPathNodeType Nodes |
|---|---|
| Root | Element, Comment, or ProcessingInstruction nodes. Note: DocumentFragment is equivalent to Root when using the XmlDocument class and can have the same children as an element. |
| Element | Element, Text, Comment, ProcessingInstruction, Whitespace or SignificantWhitespace nodes. |
| All other XPathNodeType nodes | Cannot have child nodes. |
