XPathNodeIterator.Current.GetAttribute

[John A Grandy]

XPathNodeIterator.Current.GetAttribute(localName As String, namespaceURI As
String)

i believe that localName should be set equal to the name of the attribute.

but what should namespaceURI be set equal to ?

To namespace URI if the attribute belongs to a namespace. E.g.

<foo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="foo.xsd">bar</foo>

Here to get xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute value you can use

string schema = ni.Current.GetAttribute("noNamespaceSchemaLocation ",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");

And what?

You mean you don't know attribute name and namespace? Then use
MoveToFirstAttribute() and MoveToNextAttribute() methods to navigate
through attributes.
