.NET Framework Class Library

XmlTextReader..::.MoveToNextAttribute Method

Moves to the next attribute.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Overrides Function MoveToNextAttribute As Boolean

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As XmlTextReader
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.MoveToNextAttribute()

public override bool MoveToNextAttribute()

Visual C++

public:
virtual bool MoveToNextAttribute() override

JScript

public override function MoveToNextAttribute() : boolean

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.

Visual Basic

Public Sub DisplayAttributes(reader As XmlReader)
    If reader.HasAttributes Then
        Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" & reader.Name & ">")
        While reader.MoveToNextAttribute()
            Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value)
        End While
    End If
End Sub 'DisplayAttributes

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);
        }
    }
}

Visual C++

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