XPath GetAttributes Problem

[yonta via .NET 247]

Hi

I need to select several nodes (title) on an xml document based on an atrribute(user) and then read from each selected element (title) another attribute(nomequiz).

Here's my code so far but it isn't working..

Would really appreciate some help. Got really stuck. I already tried with xmlDocument instead but it didn't work either.

If Session("user") <> "" Then

Dim strUser As String = Session("user").ToString

'private quizzes
strX += "<tr><td><b>Quizzes Privados</b></td></tr>"
Dim xDocPvt As New XPathDocument(Server.MapPath("quizpvt.xml"))
Dim xNav As XPathNavigator = xDocPvt.CreateNavigator()
Dim xNodeIterator As XPathNodeIterator
strTitlePvt = "/quiz/title[@user='" & strUser & "']"
xNodeIterator = xNav.Select("/quiz/title[@user='" & strUser & "']")
While xNodeIterator.MoveNext()
strX += "<tr><td><a href=quizexplanation.aspx?" & strUser & ">" & xNodeIterator.Current.GetAttribute("nomequiz", Nothing) & "</a><br>"
End While
strX += strUser & "</tr></table>"

Else
strX += "</table>"
End If

ListaQuizScreen.InnerHtml = strX
Here's a sample of my xml file:

<quiz xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="quizpvt.xsd">
<title cat="Inform?tica" created="2005-03-08" user="sofia" nomequiz="Powerpoint B?sico">

You forgot to tell us what doesn't seem to be working.

Hi Yonta,

I'd say XmlDocument should work in this case. The following are some code
sample you might want to give it a try:

If Session("user") <> "" Then

Dim strUser As String = Session("user").ToString

'private quizzes
strX += "<tr><td><b>Quizzes Privados</b></td></tr>"

Dim xDocPvt As New XmlDocument()

xDocPvt.Load(Server.MapPath("quizpvt.xml"))

Dim titleNodes as XmlNodeList

titleNodes = doc.SelectNodes("//title[@user='" & strUser & "']")

Dim title as XmlElement

for each title in titleNodes
strX += "<tr><td><a href=quizexplanation.aspx?" & strUser & ">" &
title.GetAttribute("nomequiz") & "</a><br>"
next

strX += strUser & "</tr></table>"

Else
strX += "</table>"
End If

ListaQuizScreen.InnerHtml = strX
