Parameters

elementId

An ID string to identify the target element. [Edit]

Returns

An System.Xml.XmlElement instance that matches the argument ID, or null if there is no such element. [Edit]

Remarks

This method tries to find an element whose ID is equivalent to the argument string. ID is assigned only when the element has corresponding attribute whose type is ID. If there is no such element, then this method returns null.

The type of an attribute is assumed from its XmlDocument.DocumentType definition. Note that the name of an attribute is nothing to do with the type. The type of attribute whose name is "id" is not ID unless it is explicitly defined.
