Hello.

I'm developing a web comsuming client using VS.NET 2003(VB), .NET
Framework 1.1.4322, ASP.NET 1.1.4322, WSE2.0 on a WinXP Pro Sp2 computer.

I'm getting an XML document this way:
Dim node As XmlNode = proxy.RetrieveArchivedTrips(strDate, endDate)
Dim doc As XmlDocument = node.OwnerDocument
doc.AppendChild(node)

At this point "doc" contains the XML document that i am using. However, i'm
reading Beginning VB.NET XML. In all of the examples to use XPathDocument,
it always refers to a file on disk such as:
Dim xpDoc As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument("..\\CaseStudy.xml")

In the above statement, how do i get my "doc" to be used in place of
"..\\CaseStudy.xml" ?

I can create a file from doc by using "file.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml)" and use
that file in the above statement, but is there a way to do it directly from
"doc" ?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

XmlDocument and XPathDocument are two different classes but both
implement IXPathNavigable.
So usually all you do with xpDoc is e.g.
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = xpDoc.CreateNavigator();
where you could simply do
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = doc.CreateNavigator();
to get an XPathNavigator over your XmlDocument instance. The use of that
navigator is the same then, whether you created it from an XPathDocument
or XmlDocument instance.
Does that help? Or why exactly do you want/need to have an XPathDocument
when you already have an XmlDocument?

Hello Martin.

Thanks for the explanation. So i can navigate thru the document using the
xmldocument method.

That helps tremendously.

Thanks,
Tony
