Getting Attribute value by using name

dotnet xml: I am getting the element node list, and if any attributes are there, I am
getting the attributes values by using the index
eg
0- first element
1- second element
aNode.Attributes.Item(1).InnerText

But for some reason the order of the attributes is swapped , so my question
is , how to get the attribute value using a name instead of the index values.

I am new to xml and thanks for any help.

eg .
addressNodeList =
xmlDoc.DocumentElement.GetElementsByTagName("UEP_STG_ADDRESS");
Console.WriteLine("Count=" + addressNodeList.Count);
foreach (XmlNode aNode in addressNodeList) {
if (aNode.Attributes.Count > 0 ) {
//1ADDR_TYPE_1
if (aNode.Attributes.Item(1).InnerText == ""){
oRowSBAD["ADDR_TYPE_1"] = DBNull.Value;
}
else{
oRowSBAD["ADDR_TYPE_1"] = aNode.Attributes.Item(1).InnerText.ToString();
}
}
}

Thank you Martin,

This solved the problem of swapping.

If the attribute is not passed at all (there is no attribute with that
name), it still errors out. Is there a way to solve this.

It is simply
elementNode.Attributes["attributeName"].Value
in C#. If the attribute is in a namespace then you need
elementNode.Attributes["localname", "namespaceURI"].Value

Compare to null then e.g.
XmlAttribute attribute = xmlElement.Attributes["attributename"];
if (attribute != null) {
...
}
