using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   //Create the validating reader.
   XmlTextReader^ txtreader = gcnew XmlTextReader( "attrs.xml" );
   XmlValidatingReader^ reader = gcnew XmlValidatingReader( txtreader );
   
   //Read the genre attribute.
   reader->MoveToContent();
   reader->MoveToFirstAttribute();
   String^ genre = reader->Value;
   Console::WriteLine( "The genre value: {0}", genre );
   
   //Close the reader.
   reader->Close();
}

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main()
  {

    //Create the validating reader.
    XmlTextReader txtreader = new XmlTextReader("attrs.xml");
    XmlValidatingReader reader = new XmlValidatingReader(txtreader);

    //Read the genre attribute.
    reader.MoveToContent();
    reader.MoveToFirstAttribute();
    string genre=reader.Value;
    Console.WriteLine("The genre value: " + genre);

    //Close the reader.
    reader.Close();
  }
} // End class

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

public class Sample 

  public shared sub Main()

    'Create the validating reader.
    Dim txtreader as XmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader("attrs.xml")
    Dim reader as XmlValidatingReader = new XmlValidatingReader(txtreader)

    'Read the genre attribute.
    reader.MoveToContent()
    reader.MoveToFirstAttribute()
    Dim genre As String = reader.Value
    Console.WriteLine("The genre value: " & genre)

    'Close the reader.
    reader.Close()

  End sub
End class 

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The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0.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.

If the current node is an element node, this method is equivalent to MoveToFirstAttribute. If MoveToNextAttribute returns true, the reader moves to the next attribute; otherwise, the position of the reader does not change.
