On XmlDocument there is a SelectNodes() method that accepts an XPath
expression and returns a list of matching nodes. Get the Count of that.

It depends on the kind of nodes you are looking for
xmlDocumentInst ance.SelectNode s("//*").Count
gives you the number of all element nodes
xmlDocumentInst ance.SelectNode s("//@*").Count
the number of all attribute nodes (in the XPath 1.0 data model where
namespace declarations are not attributes).

Re: xml counts

Right, but it only has the count of its nodes
child node mite have child node example

<ROOT>
<ONE>
<TWO/>
<THREE/>
<TWO/>

</ONE>
<TWO>
<THREE/>
</TWO>
</ONE>
</ROOT>

In the above i have a total of 6 nodes, i wonderd if XmlDocument Has a
Count For all Nodes in a complete Document
Seems Like i'll need to Write a method/function for recursion through the
document

It happens that DaveL formulated :

The snippet below produces a result of 7 (I changed the XML somewhat to
make it well-formed)

public static void RunSnippet()
{
string s = @"<ROOT>
<ONE>
<TWO>
<THREE/>
</TWO>

</ONE>
<ONE>
<TWO>
<THREE/>
</TWO>
</ONE>
</ROOT>";

XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.LoadXml(s);

XmlNodeList nl = xml.SelectNodes ("//*");
Console.WriteLi ne(nl.Count);

}
