XAttribute.NodeType Property

Definition

Gets the node type for this node.

public override System.Xml.XmlNodeType NodeType { get; }

Property Value

The node type. For XAttribute objects, this value is Attribute.

Examples

The following example creates an attribute, and then displays the node type using this property.

XElement root = new XElement("Root",  
    new XAttribute("Att", "content")  
);  

XAttribute att = root.FirstAttribute;  
Console.WriteLine(att.NodeType);  

This example produces the following output:

Attribute  

Remarks

Because all classes that derive from XObject contain a NodeType property, you can write code that operates on collections of concrete subclass of XObject. Your code can then test for the node type of each node in the collection.
