Return Value
The last item in the Data Set with the specified key element type, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if an item with the specified key element type was not found.If the Data Set is evaluated as a tree structure, this method returns the last item on the same level as element with the same parent as element, that has has key element type key.
Please note that the numbering of the items of interest in this first illustration is arbitrary and does not imply order.
If the passed object points to: | The method returns an object pointing to: |
---|---|
Item 1 | The last sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 1 that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the method returns null. Searching begins at the bottom. |
Item 2 | The last sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 2 that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the method returns null. Searching begins at the bottom. |
Item 3 | The last sibling (same level, same parent) of Item 3 that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If such an item does not exist, the method returns null. Searching begins at the bottom. |
If the Data Set is evaluated as a list, this method returns the last item in the entire list that has has key element type key. Searching begins at the bottom of the list.
Please note that the numbering of the items in the following illustration does indicate the order of the items when the Data Set is evaluated as a list.
If the passed object points to: | The method returns an object pointing to: |
---|---|
Item 1 | The last item in the list that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If an item with key element type key is not found, null is returned. Searching begins at the bottom. |
Item 14 | The last item in the list that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If an item with key element type key is not found, null is returned. Searching begins at the bottom. |
Item 22 | The last item in the list that has has key element type key, if such an item exists. If an item with key element type key is not found, null is returned. Searching begins at the bottom. |
