    Ignore exceptions when parsing XML

    Hi,

    I am using C# to parse some XML which has been generated by another system.

    Have loaded data into an XmlDocument and am then using GetElementsByTa gName and SelectSingleNod e to get the XmlNodes I need.

    My problem comes when I try to access an empty xml node like this <Field /> (instead of <Field>Some Data Here</Field>).

    When getting the data using xmlnode.SelectS ingleNode("Fiel d").FirstChild. Value
    I am getting an exception baing raised.

    My questions are these.

    1. Is there a better way of doing this which can cope with empty fields?
    2. If not, can I supress the exceptions without having to use a try-catch block for each node?

    Many thanks
