Adds a XmlNode using its Name property.

public:
 override System::Xml::XmlNode ^ SetNamedItem(System::Xml::XmlNode ^ node);

public override System.Xml.XmlNode SetNamedItem(System.Xml.XmlNode node);

public override System.Xml.XmlNode? SetNamedItem(System.Xml.XmlNode? node);

override this.SetNamedItem : System.Xml.XmlNode -> System.Xml.XmlNode

Public Overrides Function SetNamedItem (node As XmlNode) As XmlNode

Parameters

node: XmlNode

An attribute node to store in this collection. The node will later be accessible using the name of the node. If a node with that name is already present in the collection, it is replaced by the new one; otherwise, the node is appended to the end of the collection.

Returns

XmlNode

If the node replaces an existing node with the same name, the old node is returned; otherwise, the added node is returned.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

node was created from a different XmlDocument than the one that created this collection.

This XmlAttributeCollection is read-only.

InvalidOperationException

node is an XmlAttribute that is already an attribute of another XmlElement object. To re-use attributes in other elements, you must clone the XmlAttribute objects you want to re-use.

Examples

The following example adds a new attribute to a document.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument;
   doc->LoadXml( "<book ISBN='1-861001-57-5'><title>Pride And Prejudice</title></book>" );
   
   //Create a new attribute.
   XmlAttribute^ newAttr = doc->CreateAttribute( "genre" );
   newAttr->Value = "novel";
   
   //Create an attribute collection and add the new attribute
   //to the collection.
   XmlAttributeCollection^ attrColl = doc->DocumentElement->Attributes;
   attrColl->SetNamedItem( newAttr );
   Console::WriteLine( "Display the modified XML...\r\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( doc->OuterXml );
}

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

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main(){

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml("<book ISBN='1-861001-57-5'>" +
                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                "</book>");

    //Create a new attribute.
    XmlAttribute newAttr = doc.CreateAttribute("genre");
    newAttr.Value = "novel";

    //Create an attribute collection and add the new attribute
    //to the collection.
    XmlAttributeCollection attrColl = doc.DocumentElement.Attributes;
    attrColl.SetNamedItem(newAttr);

    Console.WriteLine("Display the modified XML...\r\n");
    Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml);
  }
}
