XmlTextReader.MoveToNextAttribute Method

.NET Framework 4

Moves to the next attribute.

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

public override bool MoveToNextAttribute()

Return Value

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

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.

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.

Examples

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

C++


public void DisplayAttributes(XmlReader reader)
{
    if (reader.HasAttributes)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
        while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
        }
    }
}
