Returns

A bool where true indicates the attribute value was parsed, and false indicates the reader was not positioned on an attribute node or all the attribute values have been read.

Remarks

Note:

To parse an EntityReference node, call the XmlReader.ResolveEntity method. After the node is parsed into child nodes, call the XmlReader.ReadAttributeValue method again to read the value of the entity.

The XmlReader.Depth of an attribute value node is one plus the depth of the attribute node. When general entity references are stepped into or out of, the XmlReader.Depth increments or decrements by one, respectively.

Operation

As described above.

Note to Inheritors

Implementations that cannot expand general entities should return general entities as a single empty (XmlReader.Value equals string.Empty) EntityReference node.

Usage

Use this method after calling XmlReader.MoveToAttribute(string) to read through the Text , EntityReference, or EndEntity nodes that make up the attribute value. Call the XmlReader.ResolveEntity method to resolve the EntityReference nodes.
