XmlAttributeEventArgs Class
Provides data for the UnknownAttribute event.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
For more information about handling events, see Events Overview (Windows Forms).
The UnknownAttribute event occurs only when you call the Deserialize method.
The following example deserializes a class named Group from a file named UnknownAttributes.xml. Whenever an element is found in the file that has no corresponding member in the class, the UnknownAttribute event occurs. To try the example, paste the following XML code into a file named UnknownAttributes.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Group xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" GroupType = 'Technical' GroupNumber = '42' GroupBase = 'Red'> <GroupName>MyGroup</GroupName> </Group>
