Question

I have the following xml in XmlDocument. I am trying to extract the className from it.

<Registration className="Eng" type="DirectRegistration" state="Activated"     xmlns="http://xyz/Registration">
  <Fields>
    <Field type="abc" value="123456" />
    <Field type="xyz" value="789" />
  </Fields>
</Registration>

I have tried the following code but its not giving me className.

var xmlNode = xmlDoc.DocumentElement;

Can anyone help me to get the value of className out.

Many Thanks

You were almost there:

var className = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.GetAttribute("className");

xmlDoc.DocumentElement gives you the whole element; GetAttribute pulls an individual named attribute from it.
