Xpath query for ends with

[newasp]

Hi

I was wondering if we can use Xpath query for finding nodes that ends with a 'string' value entered by the user. For example we can use the following query for finding the nodes that starts with a string

 XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Country[starts-with(@Name,'a')]");

When I tried replacing 'starts -with' with 'ends- with' in the above query, it showed the error below

Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed. This query has a prefix, variable, or user-defined function.

How to write an Xpath query for finding nodes that ends with a particular string? Or is their any other method? I am using ASP.net -C#

Thanks a lot

Hi

I found the solution; need to use substring function

XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Country[substring(@Name, string-length(@Name) - string-length('" + this.TextBox1.Text + "')+ 1, string-length(@Name))= '" + this.TextBox1.Text + "']");

BTW, my the xml file is as follows
<World>
<Country name ="Denmark"/>
<Country Name = "India"/>
</World>
