Question

I have a portion of XAML string in code-behind like this

string str = "<Button Name = \"btn1\" Foo = \"Bar"\ /><TextBox Name=\"txtbox1\">"

What should be the regex to find value of only Name attributes.

I want

btn1
txtbox1

How?

Answer 1

And you definitely don’t want to do this?

string str = "<Button Name = \"btn1\" /><TextBox Name=\"txtbox1\"/>";
var attrs = XElement.Parse("<r>"+str+"</r>").Elements().Attributes("Name").Select(a => a.Value);

foreach (var attr in attrs) Console.WriteLine(attr);
