XMLDocument Parsing Issue in VB.NET

[rajesh]

Hi,

I am trying to parse a xmldocument and to get value of a name tag
"techlanguage" is "vbdotnet".

Here i need to select the propername tag which is "techlanguage" and
the propervalue which is "vbdotnet"

Here is the structure of my XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<filters>
<filter customFilterType="">
<name>techdatabase</name>
<value>sqlserver</value>
</filter>
<filter customFilterType="">
<name>techlanguage</name>
<value>vbdotnet</value>
</filter>
<filter customFilterType="">
<name>techjava</name>
<value>j2ee</value>
</filter>
</filters>

Here is the code that tries to get the techlanguage as vbdotnet

Dim XMLValidateDoc As New XmlDocument
Dim Selectedtechlanguage As
System.Xml.XmlNode
Dim techlanguage As String
Try
XMLValidateDoc.Load(New
StringReader(Me.ucFilterSelector1.FilterXML.ToStri ng()))
Selectedtechlanguage =
XMLValidateDoc.SelectSingleNode("///name[@name=techlanguage ]")
If Not Selectedtechlanguage Is Nothing
Then
'here i need to assign vbdotnet as
the techlanguage
' techlanguage = "vbdotnet" this is
what i exactly want
techlanguage =
Selectedtechlanguage.InnerText
End If

' bla bla

What is exact XPATH query i need to make to get the techlanguage valus
which is vbdotnet.please let me know what is the right code to do
this..

thanks

Try: /filters/filter[ name = 'techlanguage' ]/value
