  Value is a parameter of type VARIANT

Description

The Name parameter determines the location of the XML element.

Because XML elements may contain multiple attributes/value pairs, the Attribute parameter is used to specify the attribute.

The Value argument is returned containing the attribute values.

Remarks

The GetAttribute method returns the attribute value of the specified metadata element.

The Name parameter uses XPath to describe the location and condition of XML nodes in metadata. More information on XPath can be found at the IXmlPropertySet documentation.

The Attribute must contain a valid string. If no string is declared (""), a run time error will occur.
