Examples

The following example displays all attributes on the current node.

      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Attributes of <{0}>", reader->Name );
         while ( reader->MoveToNextAttribute() )
         {
            Console::WriteLine( " {0}={1}", reader->Name, reader->Value );
         }
      }
   }

public void DisplayAttributes(XmlReader reader)
{
    if (reader.HasAttributes)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
        while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
        }
    }
}

Public Sub DisplayAttributes(reader As XmlReader)
    If reader.HasAttributes Then
        Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" & reader.Name & ">")
        While reader.MoveToNextAttribute()
            Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value)
        End While
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlReader instances by using the XmlReader.Create method to take advantage of new functionality.

If the current node is an element node, this method is equivalent to MoveToFirstAttribute. If MoveToNextAttribute returns true, the reader moves to the next attribute; otherwise, the position of the reader does not change.
