```cpp
class XmlAttribute : public System::Xml::XmlNode
```

| [get_OwnerDocument](./get_ownerdocument/)() override | Returns the [XmlDocument](../xmldocument/) to which this node belongs. |
| virtual [get_OwnerElement](./get_ownerelement/)() | Returns the [XmlElement](../xmlelement/) to which the attribute belongs. |
| [get_Prefix](./get_prefix/)() override | Returns the namespace prefix of this node. |
| [get_SchemaInfo](./get_schemainfo/)() override | Returns the post-schema-validation-infoset that has been assigned to this node as a result of schema validation. |
| virtual [get_Specified](./get_specified/)() | Returns a value indicating whether the attribute value was explicitly set. |
| [get_Value](./get_value/)() override | Returns the value of the node. |
| [InsertAfter](./insertafter/)(SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>, SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>) override | Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node. |
| [InsertBefore](./insertbefore/)(SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>, SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>) override | Inserts the specified node immediately before the specified reference node. |
| [PrependChild](./prependchild/)(SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>) override | Adds the specified node to the beginning of the list of child nodes for this node. |
| [RemoveChild](./removechild/)(SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>) override | Removes the specified child node. |
| [ReplaceChild](./replacechild/)(SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>, SharedPtr\<XmlNode\>) override | Replaces the child node specified with the new child node specified. |
| [set_InnerText](./set_innertext/)(String) override | Sets the concatenated values of the node and all its children. |
| [set_InnerXml](./set_innerxml/)(String) override | Sets the value of the attribute. |
| [set_Prefix](./set_prefix/)(String) override | Sets the namespace prefix of this node. |
| [set_Value](./set_value/)(String) override | Sets the value of the node. |
| [WriteContentTo](./writecontentto/)(const SharedPtr\<XmlWriter\>\&) override | Saves all the children of the node to the specified [XmlWriter](../xmlwriter/). |
| [WriteTo](./writeto/)(const SharedPtr\<XmlWriter\>\&) override | Saves the node to the specified [XmlWriter](../xmlwriter/). |
## Typedefs

| Typedef | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Ptr](./ptr/) | An alias for shared pointer to an instance of this class. |
## Remarks



Objects of this class should only be allocated using [System::MakeObject()](../../system/makeobject/) function. Never create instances of this type on stack or using operator new, as it will result in runtime errors and/or assertion faults. Always wrap this class into [System::SmartPtr](../../system/smartptr/) pointer and use this pointer to pass it to functions as argument.
