Description
Retrieves the local name of the PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE object.
Syntax
pbdom_attribute_name.GetName()
Return value
String.
Throws
EXCEPTION_USE_OF_UNNAMED_PBDOM_OBJECT -- If this PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE does not have or has not been assigned a user-defined name.
Examples
-
When the GetName method is invoked for the attribute name in the following element, it returns the string ATTRIBUTE_1:
<abc ATTRIBUTE_1="My Attribute">
-
When the GetName method is invoked for the name of the eMusic:Type attribute in the following element, it returns the string Type:
<eMusic:CD xmlns:eMusic="http://www.eMusic_Records.com" eMusic:Type="Jazz"/>
The namespace prefix is not part of the return string.
Usage
For an XML attribute that appears in the form [namespace_prefix]:[attribute_name], the local attribute name is attribute_name. Where the XML attribute has no namespace prefix, the local name is simply the attribute name.
Use the GetNamespacePrefix method to obtain the namespace prefix for a PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE object. Use the GetQualifiedName method to obtain the fully qualified name for a PBDOM_ATTRIBUTE object.
