Ho wo check for Value of node

[XML newbie: Urgent pls help!]

HI,

I am working on VB.Net.My program connects to the remote host, once the
login values are verified, it sends the SessionID. My problem is Although in
"Logindom" variable( in the Auto window), I see it has child nodes, but nodes
= Nothing.. Since, I need to copy the value of SessionID in my next function,
how can I read the value of Node. If I do, LoginDom.InnerT ext, then I
get"SuccessSess ionID", if there is no way to get node value then should I use
Trim to trim success from the result and use it in another function

Private Function ParseLoginRespo nse(ByRef loginDom As XmlDocument) As Boolean
' See if the login was successful. If so, get the SessionID.
' Otherwise, log the error.

'assign a avalue to it, initialize it in previous method. If you set
the property of an object in one event handler, once the event is finished
with the setting of the property, that value is lost unless you save the
whole object in a session variable. So in your code, you only set the value
in Button_Click1 but didn't save the changes anywhere. When Button_Click2's
event is executed, you start from the same uninitialized property of the
object.

Try
ParseLoginRespo nse = False

Dim filterDoc As New XmlDocument
'Instantiate an XmlNamespaceMan ager object
Dim nsmgr As XmlNamespaceMan ager
nsmgr = New XmlNamespaceMan ager(filterDoc. NameTable)
nsmgr.AddNamesp ace("ns", "urn:schema s -tms:LoginRespon se")
'Dim node As XmlDocument
'node = New XmlDocument
'**************

Dim node As XmlNode


' Setup the Dom to use XPath queries and also setup
' an Xml namespace prefix for use in the XPath queries.

node =
loginDom.Docume ntElement.Selec tSingleNode("ns :LoginResponse/ns:Status", nsmgr)
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & node.Value)

If Not loginDom.InnerT ext Is Nothing Then
' The login was 100% successful so get the SessionID.

'new Feb 14
'If node Is Nothing Then

'for testing

node =
loginDom.Select SingleNode("ns: LoginResponse/ns:SessionID", nsmgr)
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & node.InnerText)
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & node.Name)
Console.WriteLi ne("Login successful: " & loginDom.InnerT ext)
'Feb 20
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & node.Value)


'Add after knowing which omethod contains the value of
SessionID
'g_SessionID = node.InnerXml OR
'g_SessionID = loginDom.InnerX ml.TrimEnd


'new for testing Feb16 took out on Feb 23
'Dim resultImport As XmlNode
'resultImport = filterDoc.Impor tNode(node, True)
'filterDoc.Appe ndChild(resultI mport)
'Return True
'g_SessionID = loginDom.Value
ParseLoginRespo nse = True

'Feb23 commented out
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & loginDom.InnerX ml)
'Console.WriteL ine("Login successful: " & node.)


'Feb14

Else
'The login was not 100% successful
node =
loginDom.Select SingleNode("ns: LoginResponse/ns:SystemMessag e")
'Console.WriteL ine("Login unsuccessful: " & node.InnerText)

End If

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can't parse login information" & vbCrLf & ex.Message)


loginDom = Nothing
'node = Nothing

End Try
End Function
