XPath pb

[Steve B. [Labo.Net]]

Hi

In infopath, I use a XPath expression to get some nodes :

var oEMailNodeList = XDocument.DOM.selectNodes("//Message/EMail");

My problem is that this method returns 0 items. Here is the DOM.xml property
:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<?mso-infoPathSolution productVersion=\"11.0.5329\" PIVersion=\"1.0.0.0\"
href=\"file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\t-stevbe\Local%20Settings\Appli
cation%20Data\Microsoft\InfoPath\7ab6e8af39fc42e2\ manifest.xsf\"
solutionVersion=\"1.0.0.9\" initialView=\"messagesList\" ?>

<?mso-application progid=\"InfoPath.Document\"?>

<dfs:myFields
xmlns:my="\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2003-07-
24T09:51:34\"

xmlns:s1="\"http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/\"
xmlns:s0="\"http://tempuri.org/\"
xmlns:dfs="\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/dataFormSolut
ion\"

xml:lang="\"fr\">

<dfs:queryFields>

<s0:GetMessagesByUserName>

<s0:userName>EUROPE\t-stevbe</s0:userName>

</s0:GetMessagesByUserName>

</dfs:queryFields>

<dfs:dataFields>

<GetMessagesByUserNameResponse xmlns="\"http://tempuri.org/\">

<GetMessagesByUserNameResult />

<messages>

<Message>

<UserName>DOMAIN\user</UserName>

<EMail>us**@domain.com</EMail>

<MessageTitle>Test</MessageTitle>

<MessageBody>etettete</MessageBody>

<MessageID>bd3d5156-3960-4074-a7f8-f75d35e61219</MessageID>

<MessageDate>2003-07-21T15:52:11.8770000+02:00</MessageDate>

</Message>

</messages>

</GetMessagesByUserNameResponse>

</dfs:dataFields>

</dfs:myFields>

Is the XPath expression correct ??

Note that the expression "//dfs:dataFields" return actually the right node,
but the expression "//dfs:dataFields/GetMessagesByUserNameResponse" return 0
items.

Thanks for any help !

Nope. See yourself - Message element is in "http://tempuri.org/" namespace,
while //Message expression selects Message elements in null namespace.
Read about namespace issues in selectNodes method documentation.
