In the .NET Framework 2.0, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of all the new features introduced in the .NET Framework. For more information, see the Remarks section in the XmlReader reference page. |
The following XML contains an attribute in a specific namespace:
<test xmlns:dt="urn:datatypes" dt:type="int"/>
You can lookup the dt:type attribute using one argument (prefix and local name) or two arguments (local name and namespace URI):
String dt = reader.GetAttribute("dt:type");
String dt2 = reader.GetAttribute("type","urn:datatypes");
To lookup the xmlns:dt attribute, use one of the following arguments:
String dt3 = reader.GetAttribute("xmlns:dt");
String dt4 = reader.GetAttribute("dt",http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/);
You can also get this information using the Prefix property.
