override CreateElement - getting the name of the parentNode DURING parsing ????

However, I am wondering if I can make the creation of my object depend on the
name of the parent node DURING parsing (or even the name of the grandparent node)??
In other words, how can I do something like this:

class MyParser : XmlDocument
{
public override XmlElement CreateElement(string prefix, string lname, ...)
{
//--> where can I get the ParentNode in the next line???????????????
if ( ParentNode.Name =="company" )
return new Employee(prefix, lname, nsuri, this)
else if (lname=="person")
return new Person(prefix, lname, nsuri, this);
else
return base.CreateElement(prefix, lname, nsuri);
}
}

{
...
MyParser parser = new MyParser()
parser.load( "C:\\test.xml" );
}

Does anybody have any ideas about how this can be solved??

Thanks.
