Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Moves to the element that contains the current attribute node.
public:
override bool MoveToElement();
public override bool MoveToElement ();
override this.MoveToElement : unit -> bool
Public Overrides Function MoveToElement () As Boolean
Returns
true
if the reader is positioned on an attribute (the reader moves to the element that owns the attribute); false
if the reader is not positioned on an attribute (the position of the reader does not change).
Examples
The following example displays all attributes on the current node.
public:
void DisplayAttributes( XmlReader^ reader )
{
if ( reader->HasAttributes )
{
Console::WriteLine( "Attributes of <{0}>", reader->Name );
for ( int i = 0; i < reader->AttributeCount; i++ )
{
reader->MoveToAttribute( i );
Console::Write( " {0}={1}", reader->Name, reader->Value );
}
reader->MoveToElement(); //Moves the reader back to the element node.
}
}
public void DisplayAttributes(XmlReader reader)
{
if (reader.HasAttributes)
{
Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" + reader.Name + ">");
for (int i = 0; i < reader.AttributeCount; i++)
{
reader.MoveToAttribute(i);
Console.Write(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
}
reader.MoveToElement(); //Moves the reader back to the element node.
}
}
Public Sub DisplayAttributes(reader As XmlReader)
If reader.HasAttributes Then
Console.WriteLine("Attributes of <" & reader.Name & ">")
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To reader.AttributeCount - 1
reader.MoveToAttribute(i)
Console.Write(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value)
Next i
reader.MoveToElement() 'Moves the reader back to the element node.
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.
Use this method to return to an element after navigating through its attributes. This method moves the reader to one of the following node types: Element
, DocumentType
, or XmlDeclaration
.
