XmlAttribute Class

Definition

Represents an attribute. Valid and default values for the attribute are defined in a document type definition (DTD) or schema.

public ref class XmlAttribute : System::Xml::XmlNode
public class XmlAttribute : System.Xml.XmlNode
type XmlAttribute = class
    inherit XmlNode
Public Class XmlAttribute
Inherits XmlNode
Inheritance
XmlAttribute

Remarks

Attributes can be associated with an element. Use the OwnerElement property to get the XmlElement to which the attribute belongs.

The XmlElement class has several methods which allow you to access attribute nodes (XmlElement.GetAttribute, XmlElement.SetAttribute, XmlElement.RemoveAttribute, and so on). Additionally, you can call the XmlElement.Attributes property, which returns an XmlAttributeCollection enabling you to access attributes by name or index from the collection.

Constructors

XmlAttribute(String, String, String, XmlDocument)

Initializes a new instance of the XmlAttribute class.
