SecurityElement::Attributes Property

.NET Framework (current version)

Gets or sets the attributes of an XML element as name/value pairs.

Namespace: System.Security
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public:
property Hashtable^ Attributes {
	Hashtable^ get();
	void set(Hashtable^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System.Collections::Hashtable^

The Hashtable object for the attribute values of the XML element.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidCastException	The name or value of the Hashtable object is invalid.
ArgumentException	The name is not a valid XML attribute name.

Remarks

Each attribute is stored in the Hashtable as a name/value pair.

Names and values in attributes should contain only valid XML attribute characters. Use Escape to remove invalid characters from the string.

There is no support for quoted strings, so strings for name/value pairs should not contain quotes or other characters requiring quoting.

Examples

The following code shows the use of the Attributes property to get an attribute of an XML element. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SecurityElement class.

C++

Hashtable^ attributeKeys = xmlElement->Attributes;
String^ attributeValue = attributeKeys[ attributeName ]->ToString();
