Getting attribute value of an XML Document using C#

Question

Suppose I have the following XML Document.

<reply success="true">More nodes go here</reply>

How to get the value of the attribute success, which in this case would be the string "true".

Answer 1

I would try something like this:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<reply success=\"true\">More nodes go here</reply>");

XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;

string s = root.Attributes["success"].Value;
