.NET Framework Class Library
XmlTextReader..::.AttributeCount Property

Gets the number of attributes on the current node.

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

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property AttributeCount As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As XmlTextReader
Dim value As Integer

value = instance.AttributeCount
C#
public override int AttributeCount { get; }
Visual C++
public:
virtual property int AttributeCount {
    int get () override;
}
JScript
public override function get AttributeCount () : int

Property Value

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

NoteNote:

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.

Visual Basic
Public Sub DisplayAttributes(reader As XmlReader)
    If reader.HasAttributes Then
        Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" & reader.Name & ">")
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To reader.AttributeCount - 1
            reader.MoveToAttribute(i)
            Console.Write(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value)
        Next i
        reader.MoveToElement() 'Moves the reader back to the element node.
    End If
End Sub 'DisplayAttributes
C#
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.
  }
}
Visual C++
public:
   void DisplayAttributes( XmlReader^ reader )
   {
      if ( reader->HasAttributes )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Attributes of <{0}>", 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.
      }
   }
CPP_OLD
public:
void DisplayAttributes(XmlReader* reader)
{
  if (reader->HasAttributes)
  {
    Console::WriteLine(S"Attributes of <{0}>", reader->Name);
    for (int i = 0; i < reader->AttributeCount; i++)
    {
      reader->MoveToAttribute(i);
      Console::Write(S" {0}={1}", reader->Name, reader->Value);
    }
    reader->MoveToElement(); //Moves the reader back to the element node.
  }
