Here is simplified use case code example for creating element with attributes
XElement element =
new XElement(
"Test",
new XAttribute("Attr1", "value1"),
new XAttribute("Attr3", "value3")
);
element.Add(new XAttribute("Attr2", "value2"));
How to achieve that Attr2 is added after Attr1 to produce output like this?
<Test Attr1="value1" Attr2="value2" Attr3="value3" />
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Here is the extension method mentioned in accepted answer:
public static void AddAfterSelf(this XAttribute self, XAttribute value)
{
if (self == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("self");
if (value == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
if (self.Parent == null) throw new ArgumentException("Attribute does not belong to any element.");
XElement e = self.Parent;
var attributes = new List<XAttribute>(e.Attributes());
int idx = attributes.IndexOf(self);
attributes.Insert(idx + 1, value);
e.RemoveAttributes();
e.Add(attributes);
}
The only way I have found:
var attributes = element.Attributes().ToList();
attributes.Insert(1, new XAttribute("Attr2", "value2"));
element.Attributes().Remove();
element.Add(attributes);
