Parameters

[in] reader

[in] valueSize

The interpretation of this parameter depends on the WS_READ_OPTION.

[in, optional] error

Specifies where additional error information should be stored if the function fails.

Return value

This function can return one of these values.

Return code Description
WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT
 The input data was not in the expected format or did not have the expected value.
E_OUTOFMEMORY
 Ran out of memory.
WS_E_QUOTA_EXCEEDED
 The size quota of the heap was exceeded.
E_INVALIDARG
 One or more arguments are invalid.

Remarks

This API will search for the attribute given the name and namespace, and then and deserialize the content as a typed value.

If the API fails, the state of input reader becomes undefined. The only APIs that may be used on the reader if this occurs are WsSetInput and WsSetInputToBuffer to return the reader to a usable state, or WsFreeReader to free the reader.
