Extensions.Remove Method (IEnumerable<XAttribute>)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Removes every attribute in the source collection from its parent element.

Namespace:  System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Sub Remove ( _
    source As IEnumerable(Of XAttribute) _
)

public static void Remove(
    this IEnumerable<XAttribute> source
)

Parameters

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<XAttribute>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

This method uses snapshot semantics—that is, it copies the attributes in the source collection to a System.Collections.Generic.List<T> before disconnecting them from their parents. This is required to avoid issues with mixed imperative/declarative code. For more information, see Mixed Declarative Code/Imperative Code Bugs in the .NET Framework documentation.
