Represents the method that handles the UnknownAttribute.

public delegate void XmlAttributeEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, XmlAttributeEventArgs ^ e);

public delegate void XmlAttributeEventHandler(object? sender, XmlAttributeEventArgs e);

public delegate void XmlAttributeEventHandler(object sender, XmlAttributeEventArgs e);

type XmlAttributeEventHandler = delegate of obj * XmlAttributeEventArgs -> unit

Public Delegate Sub XmlAttributeEventHandler(sender As Object, e As XmlAttributeEventArgs)

Parameters

sender: Object

The source of the event.

e: XmlAttributeEventArgs

An XmlAttributeEventArgs that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example deserializes a class named Group from a file named UnknownAttributes.xml. Whenever an element is found in the file that has no corresponding member in the class, the UnknownAttribute event occurs. To try the example, paste the following XML code into a file named UnknownAttributes.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<Group xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" GroupType = 'Technical' GroupNumber = '42' GroupBase = 'Red'>  
  <GroupName>MyGroup</GroupName>  
</Group>

Remarks

When you create an XmlAttributeEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that handles the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

The UnknownAttribute event occurs only when an object is being deserialized with the Deserialize method.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
