Simple Xpath Query

[Samik Raychaudhuri]

Hello,
I am having the following XML file:
-----
<bibRecords xmlns="http://tempuri.org/bibrecords.xsd">
<bibRecord>
<entryID>1</entryID>
<tag>Shioura97</tag>
<entrytype>Conference Proceedings</entrytype>
</bibRecord>
</bibRecord>
------

Dim oNode As Xml.XmlNodeList
oNodes = xmldoc.SelectNodes("/bibRecords/bibRecord[entryID='1']")

The above 2 lines is returning oNodes.count=0, whereas the following line:

oNodes = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("bibRecord")

is returning oNodes.count=1 as expected. Seems like I am making some stupid mistake in the Xpath query, or may be missing something. Can somebody point it out?
Thanks and regards,

Well, the solution is more stupid :-( I had to remove the xmlns="http://tempuri.org/bibrecords.xsd" part from first line. Anybody knows why this was the problem?
