How to read attribute value from XmlNode in C#?

you can loop through all attributes like you do with nodes

foreach (XmlNode item in node.ChildNodes)
{ 
    // node stuff...

    foreach (XmlAttribute att in item.Attributes)
    {
        // attribute stuff
    }
}

Try this:

string employeeName = chldNode.Attributes["Name"].Value;

Edit: As pointed out in the comments, this will throw an exception if the attribute doesn't exist. The safe way is:

var attribute = node.Attributes["Name"];
if (attribute != null){
    string employeeName = attribute.Value;
    // Process the value here
}

To expand Konamiman's solution (including all relevant null checks), this is what I've been doing:

if (node.Attributes != null)
{
   var nameAttribute = node.Attributes["Name"];
   if (nameAttribute != null) 
      return nameAttribute.Value;

   throw new InvalidOperationException("Node 'Name' not found.");
}
