How to move to a specifc Node

[=?Utf-8?B?cHJhZGVlcF9UUA==?=]

Hi All,

I have a small XML file as below (books.xml)

<bookstore>
<book genre="autobiography" publicationdate="1981" ISBN="1-861003-11-0">
<title>The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin</title>
<author>
<first-name>Benjamin</first-name>
<last-name>Franklin</last-name>
</author>
<price>8.99</price>
</book>
</bookstore>

I want to find out how I can reach the node <authorwithout navigation
through each node.

I am trying to use the following code in C#. I do not get any error but the
node position is still at the root. How can I reach the node level that I want

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument("books.xml");

XPathNavigator nav;
nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
nav.MoveToRoot();
nav.MoveToNamespace("/bookstore/book/authro");

I may be using the correct methods to navigate to the correct root, but I
want to know how I can achieve this.

Thanks

untested:

nav = doc.CreateNavigator()
Dim node As XPathNavigator = nav.SelectSingleNode("bookstore/book/author")

When you called nav.MoveToRoot and then nav.MoveToNameSpace("/bookstore...
I'm not sure what you would get since you have no namespace that I can see
and even if you did nav.SelectSingleNode("/bookstore/... you would get
nothing since you are starting at the "bookstore" node when you MoveToRoot
and there are no child nodes with "bookstore".

i.e.
<bookstore>
<bookstore>
<book>...</book>
</bookstore>
</bookstore>
