SoapAttributeAttribute::AttributeName Property

 

Gets or sets the name of the XML attribute generated by the XmlSerializer.

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

public:
property String^ AttributeName {
	String^ get();
	void set(String^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

The name of the XML attribute. The default is the member identifier.

Use the AttributeName property to specify an XML attribute name when the default value cannot be used. For example, if the XML attribute name is invalid as a member identifier, use a valid name for the identifier while setting the AttributeName to an invalid name.

The following example serializes a class that contains several fields to which the SoapAttributeAttribute is applied. The AttributeName property is set for the Today field.
