Iterate over unkown attributes

[barnum@bluezone.no]

Hi,

I have an XML doc with a node with several unknown attributes, e.g.
<Fruit banana="true" apple="false" lemon="true" />

Is there a .NET-method to iterate over the attributes without knowing
their names?
(XPathNavigator .GetAttribute requires that I know what attribute to
look for.)

Thanks!

If you are using XPathNavigator then you can simply use .Select("@*") when
on the Fruit element.

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(n ew
StringReader(@" <Fruit banana=""true"" apple=""false"" lemon=""true"" />"));

foreach (XPathNavigator att in
doc.CreateNavig ator().Select(" Fruit/@*"))
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Attribute with name \"{0}\" has
value \"{1}\".", att.Name, att.Value);
}

As an alternative to the earlier suggestion:

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(n ew
StringReader(@" <Fruit banana=""true"" apple=""false"" lemon=""true"" />"));

XPathNavigator root =
doc.CreateNavig ator().SelectSi ngleNode("Fruit ");
if (root.MoveToFir stAttribute())
{
do
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Attribute with name \"{0}\" has
value \"{1}\".", root.Name, root.Value);
}
while (root.MoveToNex tAttribute());
}
