HI,

I have a xml document containing a xmlns attribute.

xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:PAG:MyList-application-block:v2:list">

I am using C# and statement xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//list") returns me nothing.

However, if I remove that attribute, this C# statement works.

Please help me understand this attribute.

Thanks.

You need to use the XmlNamespaceManager

XmlNamespaceManager nm = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);

nm.AddNamespace("a",
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:PAG:MyList-application-block:v2:list");

XmlNodeList nl = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//a:list", nm);
