This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
XmlReader..::.MoveToNextAttribute Method

When overridden in a derived class, moves to the next attribute.

Namespace:  System.Xml
Assembly:  System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public MustOverride Function MoveToNextAttribute As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As XmlReader
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.MoveToNextAttribute()
C#
public abstract bool MoveToNextAttribute()
Visual C++
public:
virtual bool MoveToNextAttribute() abstract
JScript
public abstract function MoveToNextAttribute() : boolean

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if there is a next attribute; false if there are no more attributes.

If the current node is an element node, this method is equivalent to MoveToFirstAttribute. If MoveToNextAttribute returns true, the reader moves to the next attribute; otherwise, the position of the reader does not change.

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

Visual Basic
If reader.HasAttributes Then
  Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">")
  While reader.MoveToNextAttribute()
    Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value)
  End While
  ' Move the reader back to the element node.
  reader.MoveToElement()
End If

C#
if (reader.HasAttributes) {
  Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
  while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute()) {
    Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
  }
  // Move the reader back to the element node.
  reader.MoveToElement();
}
