Counting nodes

[Sonu Kapoor]

Hi guys,

I know that counting of nodes is not a big deal. But I
need to do something where I cant get any solution. Here
is how my xml looks like.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CategoryList>
<Category>
<MainCategory ID="3">XML</MainCategory>
<SubCategory>Basic</SubCategory>
<SubCategory>Advanced</SubCategory>
<SubCategory>blabla</SubCategory>
<Description>List of XML articles.</Description>
<Active>Yes</Active>
</Category>
<Category>
<MainCategory ID="2">C#</MainCategory>
<Description>List of C# articles.</Description>
<Active>Yes</Active>
</Category>
<Category>
<MainCategory ID="1">VC++</MainCategory>
<Description>A list of VC</Description>
<Active>Yes</Active>
</Category>
</CategoryList>

Now I am trying to count the SubCategories element of the
first Category element. This is how my code looks like.

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("../dbase/categories.xml"));

string xmlQuery="/CategoryList/Category/MainCategory
[@ID='"+ddlMainCategory.SelectedValue.ToString()+"']";
XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNodes(xmlQuery);
for(int i=0;i<nodeList.Count;i++)
{
Response.Write(nodeList[i].Name);
if( nodeList[i].Name == "SubCategory")
Response.Write(nodeList.Item(i).ToString());
}

However my code only counts the MainCategory element,
which is fine according to the query. So can somebody tell
me how to count the SubCategories when I also have to
check the MainCategory ?

Thanks
