Moves to the element that contains the current attribute node.

Public Overrides Function MoveToElement As Boolean
Dim instance As XmlTextReader
Dim returnValue As Boolean
returnValue = instance.MoveToElement()
public override bool MoveToElement()

Return Value
Type:
System..::.Boolean
true if the reader is positioned on an attribute (the reader moves to the element that owns the attribute); false if the reader is not positioned on an attribute (the position of the reader does not change).

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. |
Use this method to return to an element after navigating through its attributes. This method moves the reader to one of the following node types: Element, DocumentType, or XmlDeclaration.
The following example displays all attributes on the current node.
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
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.
}
}
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.
}
}
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.
}
