Getting Element By XPATH

[Raed Sawalha]

I have following XML

<Root>
<dtTable>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>blah</Name>
</dtTable>

<dtTable>
<ID>2</ID>
<Name>blah</Name>
</dtTable>

<dtTable>
<ID>3</ID>
<Name>blah</Name>
</dtTable>
</Root>

Can I get the Name for ID =>3 .....with this XML Structure using XPATH..if
not what is the perfect way to do it

Check out an XPath tutorial then

With your structure a simple XPath is
/Root/dtTable[ID = 3]/Name
