System.Xml.XmlNodeReader.ReadAttributeValue Method

Parses the attribute value into one or more Text, EntityReference, or EndEntity nodes.

Syntax

public override bool ReadAttributeValue ()

Returns

true if there are nodes to return.

false if the reader is not positioned on an attribute node when the initial call is made or if all the attribute values have been read.

An empty attribute, such as, misc="", returns true with a single node with a value of String.Empty.

Remarks

Note:

In the dnprdnext, the recommended practice is to create System.Xml.XmlReader instances using the System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings class and the erload:System.Xml.XmlReader.Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of all the new features introduced in the dnprdnshort. For more information, see Creating XML Readers.

Use this method after calling XmlNodeReader.MoveToAttribute(string) to read through the text or entity reference nodes that make up the attribute value. The XmlNodeReader.Depth of the attribute value nodes is one plus the depth of the attribute node; it increments and decrements by one when you step into and out of general entity references.
