System_CAPS_noteNote

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlReader instances by using the XmlReader::Create method to take advantage of new functionality.

Use this method to return to an element after navigating through its attributes. This method moves the reader to one of the following node types: Element, DocumentType, or XmlDeclaration.

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

public:
   void DisplayAttributes( XmlReader^ reader )
   {
      if ( reader->HasAttributes )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Attributes of <{0}>", reader->Name );
         for ( int i = 0; i < reader->AttributeCount; i++ )
         {
            reader->MoveToAttribute( i );
            Console::Write( " {0}={1}", reader->Name, reader->Value );

         }
         reader->MoveToElement(); //Moves the reader back to the element node.
      }
   }
