This class provides 28 methods for working with Footnote objects in .NET programs. Available methods include: Accept, AcceptEnd, AcceptStart, AppendChild, Clone, CreateNavigator, EnsureMinimum, Footnote, GetAncestor, GetAncestorOf, GetChild, GetChildNodes, and 16 additional methods. All public members are accessible to any .NET application after installing the Aspose.Words FOSS for .NET package. Properties: ActualReferenceMark, Count, CustomNodeId, Document, FirstChild, FirstParagraph, and 21 more.

Methods

SignatureDescription
Footnote(doc: DocumentBase, footnoteType: FootnoteType)Initializes an instance of the Footnote class.
Accept(visitor: DocumentVisitor)Calls DocumentVisitor.VisitFootnoteStart, then calls Accept for all child nodes of the footnote and calls DocumentVisitor.VisitFootnoteEnd at the end.
AcceptStart(visitor: DocumentVisitor)Accepts a visitor for visiting the start of the footnote.
AcceptEnd(visitor: DocumentVisitor)Accepts a visitor for visiting the end of the footnote.
EnsureMinimum()If the last child is not a paragraph, creates and appends one empty paragraph.
GetText()Gets the text of this node and of all its children.
GetChildNodes(nodeType: NodeType, isDeep: bool)Returns a collection of child nodes that match the specified type.
GetChild(nodeType: NodeType, index: int, isDeep: bool)Returns an Nth child node that matches the specified type.
SelectNodes(xpath: string)Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression.
SelectSingleNode(xpath: string)Selects the first Node that matches the XPath expression.
GetEnumerator()Provides support for the for each style iteration over the child nodes of this node.
AppendChild(newChild: T)Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.
PrependChild(newChild: T)Adds the specified node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for this node.
InsertAfter(newChild: T, refChild: Node)Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.
InsertBefore(newChild: T, refChild: Node)Inserts the specified node immediately before the specified reference node.
RemoveChild(oldChild: T)Removes the specified child node.
RemoveAllChildren()Removes all the child nodes of the current node.
RemoveSmartTags()Removes all SmartTag descendant nodes of the current node.
IndexOf(child: Node)Returns the index of the specified child node in the child node array.
CreateNavigator()Creates navigator which can be used to traverse and read nodes.
Clone(isCloneChildren: bool)You should use the Clone(bool, INodeCloningListener) overload when the node cloning is a part of another (usually composite) node cloning process.
GetAncestor(ancestorType: Type)Gets the first ancestor of the specified object type.
GetAncestorOf()Calls GetAncestorOf on this Footnote instance.
Remove()Removes itself from the parent.
NextPreOrder(rootNode: Node)Gets next node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
PreviousPreOrder(rootNode: Node)Gets the previous node according to the pre-order tree traversal algorithm.
ToString(saveFormat: SaveFormat)Exports the content of the node into a string in the specified format.
NodeTypeToString(nodeType: NodeType)A utility method that converts a node type enum value into a user friendly string.
