Question

I’m reading an xaml file using XamlReader() and it has of course elements and attributes such as:

<setter property="Property1" Value="Value1" />

Are there any methods to locate a specific property and its associated value?

Should I parse the string using string functions?

Answer 1

The MSDN docs show using an XmlReader as input to XamlReader

// Load the button
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(savedButton);
XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader);
Button readerLoadButton = (Button)XamlReader.Load(xmlReader);

You could just use the XmlReader to grab attributes.

You would use XmlNodeType.Attribute in the switch statement shown in the MSDN example, after first noting the node you’re in in the XmlNodeType.Element case.
