WriteAttribute Method

Writes an XML attribute.

Syntax

Remarks

Writes an XML attribute on the currently opened XML element. It must be called right after calling StartElement and before any calls to WriteString, WriteComment or WriteRaw.

If Name is a local name without a prefix, the control will automatically introduce a new xmlns="NamespaceURI" attribute if necessary.

If Name is in the form prefix:local, then control will automatically introduce a new xmlns:prefix="NamespaceURI" as necessary.

Certain attribute names will be handled in special ways by this method. If Name is "xmlns" or uses the "xmlns" prefix, the attribute will be interpreted as a namespace declaration, regardless of the value of NamespaceURI. Similarly, any attribute using the "xml" prefix will be interpreted as a special attribute (like "xml:lang") and NamespaceURI will be ignored.
