IXMLDOMAttribute

  • Article

Represents an attribute of the IXMLDOMElement. Valid and default values for the attribute are defined in a document type definition (DTD) or schema.

Remarks

Attribute nodes cannot be the immediate children of IXMLDOMDocumentFragment. However, they can be associated with element nodes that are children of IXMLDOMDocumentFragment node.

The relationship between the value and specified members can be summarized as follows: If the attribute has an assigned value in the document and the specified member is True, the value is the assigned value. If the attribute has no assigned value in the document and has a default value in the DTD, the specified member is False and the value is the default value in the DTD. If the attribute has no assigned value in the document and has a value of #IMPLIED in the DTD, the attribute does not appear in the structure model of the document.

In XML, the value of an attribute is represented by the child nodes of the attribute node because the value can contain entity references. Thus attributes that contain entity references will have a child list containing both text nodes and entity reference nodes. In addition, because the attribute type might be unknown, there are no tokenized attribute values.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Msxml2.h, Msxml2.idl.
