Parsing an XmlDocument with a namespace

[hharry]

Hello All,

I have the following xml file: which I read into a string (sXML)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <BackgroundRepo rts xmlns="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02" userId=""
password="">
- <BackgroundRepo rtPackage type="report">
- <ProviderRefere nceId>
<IdValue>717351 1</IdValue>
</ProviderReferen ceId>
</BackgroundRepor tPackage>
</BackgroundRepor ts>

I am trying to use the xmldocument.sel ectsinglenode function to extract
node values

e.g.

Dim objXmlDoc As New XmlDocument
Dim objXmlNode As XmlNode
objXmlDoc.LoadX ml(sXML)
objXmlNode = objXmlDoc.Selec tSingleNode("//BackgroundRepor tPackage")

If I remove the xmlns spec, this code works fine...how do I use
SelectSingleNod e in conjunction with a namespace ?
Thanks In Advance

Solved it:

Use the XmlNameSpaceMan ager object

Dim nsmgr As XmlNamespaceMan ager = New
XmlNamespaceMan ager(objXmlDoc. NameTable)
nsmgr.AddNamesp ace(String.Empt y, "http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02")
objXmlNode = objXmlDoc.Selec tSingleNode("//BackgroundRepor tPackage")

Code correction:

nsmgr = New XmlNamespaceMan ager(objXmlDoc. NameTable)
nsmgr.AddNamesp ace("ns1", "http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02")
Dim root As XmlElement = objXmlDoc.Docum entElement
oNode = root.SelectSing leNode("//ns1:BackgroundR eportPackage", nsmgr)
