How to: Retrieve a Collection of Attributes (LINQ to XML)
This topic introduces the Attributes method. This method retrieves the attributes of an element.
Example
The following example shows how to iterate through the collection of attributes of an element.
XElement val = new XElement("Value",
new XAttribute("ID", "1243"),
new XAttribute("Type", "int"),
new XAttribute("ConvertableTo", "double"),
"100");
IEnumerable<XAttribute> listOfAttributes =
from att in val.Attributes()
select att;
foreach (XAttribute a in listOfAttributes)
Console.WriteLine(a);
Dim val = _
<Value ID="1243" Type="int" ConvertableTo="double">100</Value>
Dim listOfAttributes As IEnumerable(Of XAttribute) = _
From att In val.Attributes() _
Select att
For Each att As XAttribute In listOfAttributes
Console.WriteLine(att)
Next
This code produces the following output:
ID="1243"
Type="int"
ConvertableTo="double"
