XPathNavigator GetAttribute String

[DN]

This works:

nav.GetAttribute("@ATTRIBUTE","");

This doesn't:

string strTemp = "@ATTRIBUTE";
nav.GetAttribute(strTemp,"");

Anybody know a way around this?

Those two you posted are equivalent. What you probably meant is that another
is with @ (at) and another isnt? Anyway, GetAttribute takes the local name
of the attribute and @ is not needed in the name. e.g
nav.GetAttribute("attribute_name",""). Does the attribute belong to some
namespace?
