XmlTextReader.AttributeCount Property

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Gets the number of attributes on the current node.

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public override int AttributeCount { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of attributes on the current node.

Remarks

Note
In the .NET Framework version 2.0 release, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the XmlReader.Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of the new features introduced in this release. For more information, see Creating XML Readers.

This property is relevant to Element, DocumentType and XmlDeclaration nodes only. (Other node types do not have attributes.)

Examples

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

C++

Copy


public void DisplayAttributes(XmlReader reader)
{
  if (reader.HasAttributes)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
    for (int i = 0; i < reader.AttributeCount; i++)
    {
      reader.MoveToAttribute(i);
      Console.Write(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
    }
    reader.MoveToElement(); //Moves the reader back to the element node.
  }
}
