Documentation for this section has not yet been entered. [Edit]

Remarks

If namespaceURI is null, the local namespace is searched for localName.

This method does not move the reader.

Note:

This method overrides XmlReader.GetAttribute(string).

[Edit]

Example

This example writes the value of the attributes from the following XML fragment to the console:

<test xmlns:dt="urn:datatypes" dt:type="int"/>

The second attribute value is retrieved using all three overloads of this method.

C# Example

using System; using System.Xml; public class Reader { public static void Main() { string xmlFragment = @"<test xmlns:dt=""urn:datatypes"" dt:type=""int""/>"; NameTable nameTable = new NameTable(); XmlNamespaceManager xmlNsMan = new XmlNamespaceManager(nameTable); XmlParserContext xmlPContext = new XmlParserContext(null, xmlNsMan, null, XmlSpace.None); XmlTextReader xmlTReader = new XmlTextReader(xmlFragment,XmlNodeType.Element, xmlPContext); xmlTReader.Read(); Console.WriteLine( "{0}", xmlTReader.GetAttribute(0) ); string str1 = xmlTReader.GetAttribute(1); string str2 = xmlTReader.GetAttribute("dt:type"); string str3 = xmlTReader.GetAttribute("type", "urn:datatypes"); Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} - {2}", str1, str2, str3); } }

The output is

urn:datatypes

int - int - int
