How to ignore namespace in XMLDocument

[Maziar Aflatoun]

Hi,

I have this XML file that I need to parse.

<property>
<name>some name</name>
<value>some value</value>
</property>

<report xmlns="http://schemas.site.com/test/test/">
<reportElementList>
<reportElement>
....
....
</reportElement>
</reportElementList>

My application works fine when I use doc.SelectNodes for 'property'.
However, for 'report' it fails because of the xmlns=.... Is there a way to
instruct the XMLDocument to ignore namespaces?

BTW, I have no control over the XML file that I get :(

Thanks
Maz.

There is no need to do that, you simply need to learn how to write an
XPath expression and use that with .NET for elements in a namespace:
