Problems with SelectSingleNode

[Colin Young]

I have the following XML ('Offer' only appears once in the XML):

<OfferSheetXML xmlns="http://localhost/GBWPipeline/OfferSheetSchema.xsd">
<Offer>
<OfferSheetId>31</OfferSheetId>
[...]
</Offer>
</OfferSheetXML>

If I want to use the SelectSingleNode method of the XmlDocument object to
get either OfferSheetXML or Offer as an XmlNode, what do I need to use for
the xpath parameter of SelectSingleNode? Nothing I've tried so far works
(OfferSheetXML, /OfferSheetXML, //OfferSheetXML, Offer, //Offer,
OfferSheetXML/Offer, /OfferSheetXML/Offer, etcc).

Thanks.

Thanks for Sonu's quick response!

Hi Colin,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to know how to get the single
node reference using SelectSingleNode method. If there is any
misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Just as Sonu's link mentioned, we also need to specify the namespace for
the xpath. Please try to add the following code to your code. It works fine
on my computer.

XmlNamespaceManager nsmRequest = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsmRequest.AddNamespace("ns1",
"http://localhost/GBWPipeline/OfferSheetSchema.xsd");
XmlNode n = doc.SelectSingleNode("//ns1:OfferSheetXML", nsmRequest);

HTH. If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Thanks to both of you for the responses. I was able to solve the problem by
adding a namespace manager as suggested. I would have responded earlier to
say that was the solution, but my computer died and I just got it back
today.
