Aspose.word : create a nodeCollection

Hello,

While iterating through nodes, I wanted to create a NodeCollection in order to remember the nodes i have already treated, however i don’t know which class derives from NodeCollection, what can i use ?

The collection should be able to contain any kind of node, like the one you get when calling

GetChildNodes(NodeType.Any

Sincerely.

@guyyyyyyyyyyy You can use System.Collections.Generic.List<Node>.

Thank you for your answer

More precisely, I need to check if a node is already in a collection of nodes or in their children, is there a structure that can do that or do i have to implement it ?

@guyyyyyyyyyyy I am afraid there is no such structure. In System.Collections.Generic.List<Node> you can use Contains method to check whether the list already contains the node. You can use LINQ to check whether the node is a child of the nodes in the collection. Something like this:

bool contsinNode = collection
    .Where(n => nodeToCheck.Equals(n) || (n.IsComposite ? (n as CompositeNode).GetChildNodes(NodeType.Any, true).Contains(nodeToCheck) : false) )
    .Any();
