XmlNodeReader::AttributeCount Property

 

Gets the number of attributes on the current node.

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

public:
property int AttributeCount {
	virtual int get() override;
}

Property Value

Type: System::Int32

The number of attributes on the current node. This number includes default attributes.

System_CAPS_noteNote

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.

This property is relevant to Element, DocumentType and XmlDeclaration nodes only. (Other node types do not have attributes.)

The following example reads all the attributes on the root node.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   XmlNodeReader^ reader = nullptr;
   try
   {

      //Create and load the XML document.
      XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
      doc->LoadXml( "<book genre='novel' ISBN='1-861003-78' publicationdate='1987'> "
      "</book>" );

      //Load the XmlNodeReader 
      reader = gcnew XmlNodeReader( doc );

      //Read the attributes on the root element.
      reader->MoveToContent();
      if ( reader->HasAttributes )
      {
         for ( int i = 0; i < reader->AttributeCount; i++ )
         {
            reader->MoveToAttribute( i );
            Console::WriteLine( "{0} = {1}", reader->Name, reader->Value );

         }
         reader->MoveToElement();
      }
   }
   finally
   {
      if ( reader != nullptr )
            reader->Close();
   }

}
