How get the attribute value of XML node in C#

Question

I am parsing the XML in C# this XML:

     <Resident Type="R">
          <Payment>1218</Payment>
     </Resident>

I am parsing this way(please answer this same way, not other methods)

  XmlDocument parsed_xml = new XmlDocument();
  parsed_xml.LoadXml(dto.xml);


  XmlNodeList test = parsed_xml.SelectNodes("/IER/Credit/Loan/LoanApp/Applicant/Personal/Individuals/Individual/Resident/Peyment");


  if (xnList != null)

            PAYMENT = xnList.Item(0).InnerText;

with this code I can get the Payment value that is 1218 but how I can get the attribute value of Type that is "R" ?

That's old school. Use System.Linq.Xml instead. Much quicker and easier way to handle xml. — , Jun 12 '15 at 17:03

You'll want to look at the ParentNode to get the attribute.

string residentType = xnList[0].ParentNode.Attributes["Type"].Value;
