XmlAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml

Assembly:

System.Xml.ReaderWriter.dll

Source:

XmlAttribute.cs

Represents an attribute. Valid and default values for the attribute are defined in a document type definition (DTD) or schema.

public ref class XmlAttribute : System::Xml::XmlNode

public class XmlAttribute : System.Xml.XmlNode

type XmlAttribute = class
    inherit XmlNode

Inherits XmlNode

XmlAttribute

Remarks

Attributes can be associated with an element. Use the OwnerElement property to get the XmlElement to which the attribute belongs.

The XmlElement class has several methods which allow you to access attribute nodes (XmlElement.GetAttribute, XmlElement.SetAttribute, XmlElement.RemoveAttribute, and so on). Additionally, you can call the XmlElement.Attributes property, which returns an XmlAttributeCollection enabling you to access attributes by name or index from the collection.

Constructors

XmlAttribute(String, String, String, XmlDocument)

Initializes a new instance of the XmlAttribute class.

Properties

Attributes	Gets an XmlAttributeCollection containing the attributes of this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
BaseURI	Gets the base Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the node.
ChildNodes	Gets all the child nodes of the node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
FirstChild	Gets the first child of the node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
HasChildNodes	Gets a value indicating whether this node has any child nodes. (Inherited from XmlNode)
InnerText	Sets the concatenated values of the node and all its children.
InnerXml	Sets the value of the attribute.
IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether the node is read-only. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Item[String, String]	Gets the first child element with the specified LocalName and NamespaceURI. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Item[String]	Gets the first child element with the specified Name. (Inherited from XmlNode)
LastChild	Gets the last child of the node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
LocalName	Gets the local name of the node.
Name	Gets the qualified name of the node.
NamespaceURI	Gets the namespace URI of this node.
NextSibling	Gets the node immediately following this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
NodeType	Gets the type of the current node.
OuterXml	Gets the markup containing this node and all its child nodes. (Inherited from XmlNode)
OwnerDocument	Gets the XmlDocument to which this node belongs.
OwnerElement	Gets the XmlElement to which the attribute belongs.
ParentNode	Gets the parent of this node. For XmlAttribute nodes, this property always returns null.
Prefix	Gets or sets the namespace prefix of this node.
PreviousSibling	Gets the node immediately preceding this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
PreviousText	Gets the text node that immediately precedes this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
SchemaInfo	Gets the post-schema-validation-infoset that has been assigned to this node as a result of schema validation.
Specified	Gets a value indicating whether the attribute value was explicitly set.
Value	Gets or sets the value of the node.

Methods

AppendChild(XmlNode)	Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes, of this node.
Clone()	Creates a duplicate of this node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
CloneNode(Boolean)	Creates a duplicate of this node.
CreateNavigator()	Creates an XPathNavigator for navigating this object. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Gets an enumerator that iterates through the child nodes in the current node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetNamespaceOfPrefix(String)	Looks up the closest xmlns declaration for the given prefix that is in scope for the current node and returns the namespace URI in the declaration. (Inherited from XmlNode)
GetPrefixOfNamespace(String)	Looks up the closest xmlns declaration for the given namespace URI that is in scope for the current node and returns the prefix defined in that declaration. (Inherited from XmlNode)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
InsertAfter(XmlNode, XmlNode)	Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.
InsertBefore(XmlNode, XmlNode)	Inserts the specified node immediately before the specified reference node.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Normalize()	Puts all XmlText nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this XmlNode into a "normal" form where only markup (that is, tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates XmlText nodes, that is, there are no adjacent XmlText nodes. (Inherited from XmlNode)
PrependChild(XmlNode)	Adds the specified node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for this node.
RemoveAll()	Removes all the child nodes and/or attributes of the current node. (Inherited from XmlNode)
RemoveChild(XmlNode)	Removes the specified child node.
ReplaceChild(XmlNode, XmlNode)	Replaces the child node specified with the new child node specified.
SelectNodes(String, XmlNamespaceManager)	Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression. Any prefixes found in the XPath expression are resolved using the supplied XmlNamespaceManager. (Inherited from XmlNode)
SelectNodes(String)	Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression. (Inherited from XmlNode)
SelectSingleNode(String, XmlNamespaceManager)	Selects the first XmlNode that matches the XPath expression. Any prefixes found in the XPath expression are resolved using the supplied XmlNamespaceManager. (Inherited from XmlNode)
SelectSingleNode(String)	Selects the first XmlNode that matches the XPath expression. (Inherited from XmlNode)
Supports(String, String)	Tests if the DOM implementation implements a specific feature. (Inherited from XmlNode)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
WriteContentTo(XmlWriter)	Saves all the children of the node to the specified XmlWriter.
WriteTo(XmlWriter)	Saves the node to the specified XmlWriter.

IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()	For a description of this member, see GetEnumerator(). (Inherited from XmlNode)

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.
OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.
AsParallel(IEnumerable)	Enables parallelization of a query.
AsQueryable(IEnumerable)	Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.
