WsReadStartAttribute function

Moves the Reader to the specified attribute so that the content may be read using WsReadValue, WsReadChars, or WsReadBytes. If the reader is not positioned on a start element then it returns a WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT exception. (See Windows Web Services Return Values.)

Note Attributes read do not appear in any particular order. WsFindAttribute can be used to locate the index of a particular attribute.
