Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
Dim carNode As Chilkat.Xml
Dim numAttr As Int32
Dim horsepower As Int32
Dim i As Int32

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(xml.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

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

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
System.DebugLog("model = " + carNode.GetAttrValue("model"))

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
horsepower = carNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp")
System.DebugLog("horsepower = " + Str(horsepower))

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

i = 0
While i < numAttr
    System.DebugLog(carNode.GetAttributeName(i) + ": " + carNode.GetAttributeValue(i))
    i = i + 1
