Xpath Help C#

[newasp]

Hi

I had a quick question - How do I use Xpath to search the following xml file? Or should I be using something else? Pls note that the file has xml empty tags.

xml file

<World>
<Country Name ="Denmark"/>
<Country Name ="Hungry"/>
</World>

I tried the following code in C# ASP.net

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("C:\\world.xml");
XmlNodeList nodeList;
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("World/[Country Name='Denmark']");

and it showed the following error

Expression must evaluate to a node-set.The error occured at the last line(5)

I would like the node list to have 'Denmark'. I highly appreciate any kind of suggestion.

Thanks
Kim

HI
I figured it ....

The query should be
XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des("//Country[@Name = ' Denmark']");

Now my question is

Suppose I have a string variable that reads the string entered by the user in the textbox , how can I write the query without hard coding the country name?

Thanks

[CODE=cpp]XmlNodeList nodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des("//Country[@Name = '" + this.txtBoxCoun tryName + "']");[/CODE]
is that all you are looking for?
Alternatively you can use the String Builder class but that does most of the trick.

Thank you

Hi Sasi,

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I have been looking for : ) and it worked.

Have a nice day
