XmlAttribute.LocalName Property

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ LocalName { System::String ^ get(); };

public override string LocalName { get; }

member this.LocalName : string

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property LocalName As String

The name of the attribute node with the prefix removed. In the following example <book bk:genre= 'novel'>, the LocalName of the attribute is genre.

The following example displays information on each of the nodes in the attribute collection.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{
  public static void Main(){

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml("<book xmlns:bk='urn:samples' bk:genre='novel'>" +
                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                "</book>");

    //Create an attribute collection.
    XmlAttributeCollection attrColl = doc.DocumentElement.Attributes;

    Console.WriteLine("Display information on each of the attributes... \r\n");
    foreach (XmlAttribute attr in attrColl){
       Console.Write("{0}:{1} = {2}", attr.Prefix, attr.LocalName, attr.Value);
       Console.WriteLine("\t namespaceURI=" + attr.NamespaceURI);
    }
  }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

public class Sample

  public shared sub Main()

    Dim doc as XmlDocument = new XmlDocument()
    doc.LoadXml("<book xmlns:bk='urn:samples' bk:genre='novel'>" & _
                "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" & _
                "</book>") 

    'Create an attribute collection.
    Dim attrColl as XmlAttributeCollection = doc.DocumentElement.Attributes

    Console.WriteLine("Display information on each of the attributes... ")
    Dim attr as XmlAttribute
    for each attr in attrColl
       Console.Write("{0}:{1} = {2}", attr.Prefix, attr.LocalName, attr.Value)
       Console.WriteLine("   namespaceURI=" + attr.NamespaceURI)
    next

  end sub
end class

If the node does not have a prefix, LocalName is the same as Name.
