Csharp/C Sharp/XML LINQ/XAttribute

Creating an Attribute and Adding It to Its Element

<source lang="csharp"> using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass {

   public static void Main() {
       XElement xBookParticipant = new XElement("BookParticipant"); 
       XAttribute xAttribute = new XAttribute("type", "Author"); 
       xBookParticipant.Add(xAttribute);
       Console.WriteLine(xBookParticipant);
   }

}

</source>

Creating an Attribute with Functional Construction

<source lang="csharp"> using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass {

   public static void Main() {
       XElement xBookParticipant = new XElement("BookParticipant",
                    new XAttribute("type", "Author"));
       Console.WriteLine(xBookParticipant);
   }

}

Using the LINQ to XML API to Create an XML Document

<source lang="csharp"> using System; using System.Linq; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Linq; public class MainClass {

   public static void Main() {
       XElement xElement =
         new XElement("Books",
         new XElement("Book",
         new XAttribute("type", "Author"),
         new XElement("FirstName", "J"),
         new XElement("LastName", "R")));
       Console.WriteLine(xElement.ToString());
   }

}
