XmlReader.cs

When overridden in a derived class, gets the value of the attribute with the specified index.

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ default[int] { System::String ^ get(int i); };
public:
 abstract property System::String ^ default[int] { System::String ^ get(int i); };
public virtual string this[int i] { get; }
public abstract string this[int i] { get; }
member this.Item(int) : string
Default Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Item(i As Integer) As String
Default Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Item(i As Integer) As String

Parameters

i
Int32

The index of the attribute.

Property Value

The value of the specified attribute.

Exceptions

An XmlReader method was called before a previous asynchronous operation finished. In this case, InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "An asynchronous operation is already in progress."

Examples

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

// Display all attributes.
if (reader.HasAttributes) {
  Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
  for (int i = 0; i < reader.AttributeCount; i++) {
    Console.WriteLine("  {0}", reader[i]);
  }
  // Move the reader back to the element node.
  reader.MoveToElement();
}
' Display all attributes.
If reader.HasAttributes Then
  Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">")
  Dim i As Integer
  For i = 0 To (reader.AttributeCount - 1)
    Console.WriteLine("  {0}", reader(i))
  Next i
  ' Move the reader back to the element node.
  reader.MoveToElement() 
End If

Remarks

This property does not move the reader.

Parameters

name
String

The qualified name of the attribute.

The following example gets the value of the ISBN attribute.

reader.ReadToDescendant("book");
string isbn =reader["ISBN"];

reader.ReadToDescendant("book")
Dim isbn As String = reader("ISBN")
Console.WriteLine("The ISBN value: " + isbn)

Remarks
