C#

XmlNodeList elemList = doc.GetElementsByTagName("workflowprocess");     
for (int i = 0; i < elemList.Count; i++)     
{         
  string attrVal = elemList[i].Attributes["name"].Value;     
}

C#

string attrVal = doc.SelectSingleNode("/workflowprocess/@name").Value;

Have a look at this link;
