Searching simple sample for loading a XML document and access a node through XPath expression ?

I would like to load an XML document from say D:\mytask\mydoc .xml into a CSharp
and to retrieve from the resulting XML node tree a certain node/element by
specifing an XPath expression.

Does someone know a simple CSharp sample source which shows how to implement this task ?

using System.Xml;

// ...

XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument(pat h-to-your-xml-file);
XmlNode nd = xd.SelectSingle Node("your-xpath-expression");

if (nd != null)
{
// ... do something with the node
}

-cd

Hi All, I have a task that should be very simple but I'm running into trouble. All I want to do is query a document using XPath, and save the resulting XML in a string. Here's that I am trying (PHP5): // $xml has the entire XML document in it; I included it for reference at the end of the document $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadXML($xml);

I'm working with java and XML documents in order to search for keywords in a given element name, eg element name 'author' == "jo blogs". The problem is the XML documents are downloaded (this process is automated) from different websites thus the element names for author may differ! Is their a way of dealing with this, such as perhaps a standard adopted by, say educational websites to agree on element names ? Thanks very much

Hallo! When using the XPATH document() function to load a new XML document, we are coming across problems, because XALAN seems to have problems with absolute paths. XALAN always assumes that the path is relative to the current directory. So if we e.g. are in "c:\xslt_scripts" and are trying to load an XML file from "c:\xml_files\test.xml" it ist trying to open a file with the following absolute path:...

Hi, I have an XML document that uses namespaces (it is from a Word 2007 file). I want to retrieve all the "t" elements that belong to the "w" namespace (<w:t>) using XPath from VB.NET 2003 (.NET framework 1.1). I've successfully loaded the document into a XmlDocument DOM parser (I can dump the contents using OuterXML). And, I've created a XmlNamespaceManager and assigned it the "w" namespace.

I have a container of XmlNodes. Some of them have been removed from the document, some haven't. Is there an easy way to tell which are which? I suppose bool IsPartOfTree(XmlNode node) { while (node.ParentNode != null) { node = ParentNode; } return node == node.OwnerDocument; }

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
