I am trying to do SelectSingleNodeon XMLDocumentusing an XPath expression. However, when the attribute value I'm looking for contains a few forward slashes (/), it returns null.
I cannot find any resources on the Internet to avoid a slash. Does anyone know about this? Or didn’t I get my syntax for incorrect attribute value matching?
XML example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root>
<Page Path="/brand" />
<Page Path="/brand/armada" />
</Root>
This XPath expression returns the correct node (for example, the first in the example above)
XmlNode N = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Root/Page[@Path='/brand']");
This XPath expression returns null
XmlNode N = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Root/Page[@Path='/brand/armada']");
I am in a C # environment,. Net 3.5.
EDIT: Thanks for the answers. I solved the problem using a double slash in the select statement.
XmlNode N = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Root//Page[@Path='/brand/armada']");
