System.Xml.XmlTextReader.MoveToElement Method

Moves to the element that contains the current attribute node.

public override bool MoveToElement ()

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).

Remarks

Note:

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

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.
