convert XMLAttribute toint?

Question

Hello world!

I've got a checkboxlist binded to an XML doc via an XMLDataProvider. With this I can fill some attribute of my checkbox like "isChecked", "isEnabled" and the "Tag" propertie.
I made a function "chkCheck" called when the user checks in a checkBox. This fonction has to recover the tag of the checkBox. The problem is that the type returns is an XMLAttribute. I can't convert it into an integer.
I have seen the XMLConvert class without success.

Anyone got an idea? Thanks

Thanks Alan for your help it's strange because I can't ask to the value property of the XMLAttribute. In fact when I unCheck my checkbox I want to recover the tag propertie. At this moment it raise the error cannot convert type system.xml.xmlAttribute to system.string. Here is my function. private void UnCheck(object sender RoutedEventArgs e) { CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)sender; int layerIndexUnChecked = int.Parse(chk.Tag) ; } Don't you think it's come from that i bind my checkboxlist with a XMLDataProvider and I bind the element with XPath? Before using the xmlDataProvider I used a dataset and this problem didn't raise...

If you mean that you're trying to convert the 'value' of the XmlAttribute to an int then try: int val = int.Parse(xmlAttribute.Value); However this will only work if the value is the string representation of an integer. If it's true or false and you want to convert it to 1 or 0 respectively then try: int val = (xmlAttribute.Value.Trim().ToLower == true) ? 1 : 0;
