Hi All,

How do i select a Node from an XMLDocument, and if i have that one how to
select a specific childnode? It seems all the usefull methods (selectnode
etc.) have been left out of the compact version (why oooh why).

Richard.
 
You can use the indexer to locate specific nodes in the document e.g.

[C#]
myxmldoc["mynode"].OuterXml;

[VB]
myxmldoc("mynode").OuterXml;

Peter maybe it is because I am not that familiar with xml but I obtain
a nullreferenceexception when trying :

myxmldoc("child").OuterXml (
eg dom("child").OuterXml used in code link below

Also how does this help you with selecting a node list? As in:

Dim nodelist As XmlNodeList = dom.SelectNodes("//child")
For Each node In nodelist
