MoveToAttribute(String)

Source:

XmlValidatingReader.cs

Moves to the attribute with the specified name.

public:
 override bool MoveToAttribute(System::String ^ name);

public override bool MoveToAttribute (string name);

override this.MoveToAttribute : string -> bool

Public Overrides Function MoveToAttribute (name As String) As Boolean

Parameters

name

String

The qualified name of the attribute.

Returns

Boolean

true if the attribute is found; otherwise, false. If false, the position of the reader does not change.

Examples

The following example reads an attribute with text and entity reference nodes.

Remarks

Note

The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0. You can create a validating XmlReader instance by using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. For more information, see the Remarks section of the XmlReader reference page.

After calling this method, the Name, NamespaceURI, and Prefix properties reflect the properties of that attribute.
