XmlAttributeEventArgs.LinePosition Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml.Serialization

Assembly:

System.Xml.XmlSerializer.dll

Source:

_Events.cs

Gets the position in the line of the unknown XML attribute.

public:
 property int LinePosition { int get(); };

public int LinePosition { get; }

member this.LinePosition : int

Public ReadOnly Property LinePosition As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The position number of the unknown XML attribute.

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>
