finding a specific child node

[apandapion@gmail.com]

I'm new to programatic manipulation of XML, and I'm sure I'm not doing
everything in the best way. In specific, I have a number of pieces of
code that look like this:

string foo="";
foreach (XmlNode xnii in xni.ChildNodes)
{
switch (xnii.Name)
{
case "foo":
foo = xnii.InnerText;
break;
}
}

There's a better way to write that code block, I'm sure, but I'm
working to reach a deadline to provide some XML interfaces to some Java
coders and I don't have time to research best practices beyond relying
on the generosity of the group.

TIA,
ap

You can use XmlNode.SelectS ingleNode(...) XmlNode.SelectN odes(...)
