Examples

The following example reads all the elements on the root node.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

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The XmlValidatingReader class is obsolete in .NET Framework 2.0.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

This property is relevant to Element, DocumentType, and XmlDeclaration nodes only. (Other node types do not have attributes.)
