Hi Dave,

Thanks for posting!

1. I tried to reproduce it, but with my code below, it is working fine. The
object returns "jan".

           XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
           doc.LoadXml("<Month><jan>231</jan></Month>");
           XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
           XPathNavigator n = nav.SelectSingleNode("//Month/jan");
           object o = n.Evaluate("name(self::*)");

Could you show me your code that can repro it? Thanks.

2. The SelectSingleNode method does different things from Evaluate method.
SelectSingleNode does an XPath query and returns another XPathNavigator, so
that you can move to another node with it.

However, Evaluate method evaluates an XPath expression and returns result.
It will be converted to an object.
