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>

VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

' The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(xml.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' 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 = " & 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
End While
