Extracting values from XmlNode/XmlAttribute

If I have an XmlNode/XmlAttribute and I want to convert its value to a
"native" c# type (for example boolean), how should I do? I can't (for
example) simply use Boolean.TryParse, because Xml Boolean considers 0 and 1
to be "good" values for a boolean type.

Hi Max,

As Martin has suggested, you can use the XmlConvert class to convert the
string value(you pick from XmlNode or XmlAttribute ) to the target
type(boolean, integer .....). It is just like the System.Convert class, the
only difference is that XmlConvert class is specific to XML standard awared
convertion.

I think XMLConvert should work for you. Else we can think of using
reflection.
