If the current node is an attribute node, this method moves the reader back to the element that owns the attribute.

This is useful when you want to write code that can skip over random XML markup without breaking. For example, suppose you have the following code:

If reader.MoveToContent() = XmlNodeType.Element And reader.Name = "price" Then
    _price = reader.ReadString()
End If

if (reader.MoveToContent() == XmlNodeType.Element && reader.Name == "price") 
 {
    _price = reader.ReadString();
 }

if ( reader->MoveToContent() == XmlNodeType::Element &&
   reader->Name->Equals( "price" ) )
{
   _price = reader->ReadString();
}

This code can handle the following inputs without breaking:

<price>123.4</price>

and

<?xml version="1.0"><!DOCTYPE price SYSTEM
  "abc"><price>123.4</price>

and

<?xml version="1.0"><!DOCTYPE price SYSTEM "abc"
  [<!ENTTIY p
  "123.4">]><price>&p;</price>

and

<!-- some test comment --><?processing
  instruction?><price>123.4</price>
