Methods for Getting Attributes

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

C#

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
Chilkat.Xml carNode = null;
int numAttr;
int horsepower;
int i;

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(xml.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
carNode = xml.FirstChild();

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
Debug.WriteLine("model = " + carNode.GetAttrValue("model"));

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
horsepower = carNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp");
Debug.WriteLine("horsepower = " + Convert.ToString(horsepower));

// Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
numAttr = carNode.NumAttributes;

i = 0;
while (i < numAttr) {
    Debug.WriteLine(carNode.GetAttributeName(i) + ": " + carNode.GetAttributeValue(i));
    i = i + 1;
}
