Returns

A Nullable<T> of Int64 that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Attributes

Exceptions

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with long integer content. It then retrieves the value by casting to Nullable<T> of Int64.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",   
    new XAttribute("Att", 9223372036854775807)

long? value = (long?)root.Attribute("Att");  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable long: value={0}", value == null ? "null" : value.ToString());  
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att="9223372036854775807"/>  
Dim value As Nullable(Of Long) = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), Nullable(Of Long))  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable long: value={0}", IIf(value.HasValue, value.ToString(), "null"))

static member op_Explicit : System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute -> Nullable<TimeSpan>
Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType (attribute As XAttribute) As Nullable(Of TimeSpan)

Parameters

attribute
XAttribute

The XAttribute to cast to a Nullable<T> of TimeSpan.

Returns

A Nullable<T> of TimeSpan that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Attributes

Exceptions

The attribute does not contain a valid TimeSpan value.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with time span content. It then retrieves the value by casting to Nullable<T> of TimeSpan.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",  
    new XAttribute("Att", new TimeSpan(1, 5, 30))  
);  
TimeSpan? value = (TimeSpan?)root.Attribute("Att");  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable TimeSpan: value={0}", value == null ? "null" : value.ToString());  
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att=<%= New TimeSpan(1, 5, 30) %>/>  
Dim value As Nullable(Of TimeSpan) = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), Nullable(Of TimeSpan))  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable TimeSpan: value={0}", IIf(value.HasValue, value.ToString(), "null"))  

This example produces the following output:

Nullable TimeSpan: value=01:05:30  

Remarks

The value space of an attribute or element that contains time span content is closely related to duration content as described in ISO 8601. When creating an attribute or element that contains time span content, the attribute or element values are formatted per the W3C specification. Please see the W3C specification for more details.

Behavior is lax when casting to a Nullable<T> of TimeSpan from an attribute or element. Even if the attribute or element value is not formatted exactly per the W3C specification, the value is appropriately converted to a Nullable<T> of TimeSpan.

A Nullable<T> of DateTimeOffset that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Attributes

Exceptions

The attribute does not contain a valid DateTimeOffset value.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with a date and time as content. It then retrieves the value by casting to Nullable<T> of DateTimeOffset.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",  
    new XAttribute("Att", new DateTimeOffset(new DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0)))  
);  
DateTimeOffset? value = (DateTimeOffset?)root.Attribute("Att");  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable DateTimeOffset: value={0}", value == null ? "null" : value.ToString());  
Dim root As XElement = _  
    <Root  
        Att=<%= New DateTimeOffset(New DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0)) %>/>  
Dim value As Nullable(Of DateTimeOffset) = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), Nullable(Of DateTimeOffset))  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable DateTimeOffset: value={0}", IIf(value.HasValue, value.ToString(), "null"))  

This example produces the following output:

Nullable DateTimeOffset: value=10/6/2006 12:30:00 PM -07:00  

Remarks

This conversion operator uses the XmlConvert class to do the conversion.

Parameters

attribute
XAttribute

The XAttribute to cast to a Nullable<T> of DateTime.

Returns

A Nullable<T> of DateTime that contains the content of this XAttribute.

Attributes

Exceptions

The attribute does not contain a valid DateTime value.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute with a date and time as content. It then retrieves the value by casting to Nullable<T> of DateTime.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",  
    new XAttribute("Att", new DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0))  
);  
DateTime? value = (DateTime?)root.Attribute("Att");  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable DateTime: value={0}", value == null ? "null" : value.ToString());  
Dim root As XElement = <Root Att=<%= New DateTime(2006, 10, 6, 12, 30, 0) %>/>  
Dim value As Nullable(Of DateTime) = CType(root.Attribute("Att"), Nullable(Of DateTime))  
Console.WriteLine("Nullable DateTime: value={0}", IIf(value.HasValue, value.ToString(), "null"))  

This example produces the following output:

Nullable DateTime: value=10/6/2006 12:30:00 PM  

Remarks

The value space of an attribute or element that contains date and time content is closely related to the dates and times described in ISO 8601. When creating an attribute or element that contains date and time content, the attribute or element values are formatted per the W3C specification. See the W3C specification for more details.

Behavior is lax when casting to a Nullable<T> of DateTime from an attribute or element. Even if the attribute or element value is not formatted exactly per the W3C specification, the value is appropriately converted to a Nullable<T> of DateTime.

This conversion operator uses CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to convert from a DateTime.
