Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub RemoveChild ( _
    childElement As XMLNode _
)

void RemoveChild(
    XMLNode childElement
)

  Type: XMLNode

Examples

The following code example demonstrates event handlers for the AfterInsert and BeforeDelete events. The code displays a message box before an XMLNode is deleted from the document and after an XMLNode is added to the document. The example also uses the RemoveChild method to delete a node and programmatically raise the BeforeDelete event. This example assumes that the current document contains an XMLNode named CustomerNode that contains a child node named CustomerDateNode.

Private Sub XMLNodeInsertAndDelete()
    Me.CustomerNode.RemoveChild(Me.CustomerDateNode.InnerObject)
End Sub 

Private Sub XMLNode_BeforeDelete(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventArgs) _
    Handles CustomerDateNode.BeforeDelete

    Dim tempNode As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode = _
        CType(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode)
    If e.InUndoRedo Then
        MsgBox(tempNode.BaseName & " element is about to be " & _
            "deleted as a result of an undo or redo operation.")
    Else
        MsgBox(tempNode.BaseName & " element is about to be " & _
            "deleted.")
    End If 
End Sub 

Private Sub XMLNode_AfterInsert(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.NodeInsertAndDeleteEventArgs) _
    Handles CustomerDateNode.AfterInsert

    Dim tempNode As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode = _
        CType(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode)

    If e.InUndoRedo Then
        MsgBox(tempNode.BaseName & " element was " & _
            "inserted as a result of an undo or redo operation.")
    Else
        MsgBox(tempNode.BaseName & " element was inserted.")
    End If 
End Sub

    this.CustomerDateNode.BeforeDelete +=

    this.CustomerNode.RemoveChild(this.CustomerDateNode.InnerObject);
