Occurs when the XmlSerializer encounters an XML attribute of unknown type during deserialization.

public:
 event System::Xml::Serialization::XmlAttributeEventHandler ^ UnknownAttribute;

public event System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeEventHandler UnknownAttribute;

member this.UnknownAttribute : System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeEventHandler

Public Custom Event UnknownAttribute As XmlAttributeEventHandler

Event Type

XmlAttributeEventHandler

The following example prints information about any unknown attributes encountered while deserializing an XML document.

Remarks

By default, after calling the Deserialize method, the XmlSerializer ignores XML attributes of unknown types. However, you can use this event to handle such node types.

If the instance of the class being deserialized contains a field that returns an array of XmlAttribute objects and an XmlAnyAttributeAttribute has been applied to the field, the UnknownAttribute event does not occur. Instead, all unknown XML attributes are collected into the array.
