Help: How to check if a node exists?

[hb]

Hi,

I need to check if a node exists in a XmlDocument object before to use
SelectSingleNode() to
process. I tried with
if(XmlNode.SelectSingleNode("ABC")!=null)
But this only works when the node "ABC" exists. If the node doesn't exists,
I will get an error
saying object not found. Would you please give me some help?

Thank you

hb

If you use
XmlNode node = xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("ABC");
if (node != null)
I don't see a problem.
