Gets a value indicating whether the node is read-only.
[Visual Basic] Overridable Public ReadOnly Property IsReadOnly As Boolean [C#] public bool IsReadOnly {override get;} [C++] public: __property virtual bool get_IsReadOnly(); [JScript] public function get IsReadOnly() : Boolean;
true if the node is read-only.
false if the node is read/write.
For XmlDocumentType, this property is true (the XmlDocumentType nodes are read-only).
A read-only node is one that you cannot change any of its properties, attributes, or children. But you can remove it from the tree and insert it somewhere else. For example, the node for an EntityReference is typically read-only because its children actually come from the DTD definition of that entity and typically the DTD is read-only.
