I am trying to run the asp xpath examples from the QuickStarts samples, but
I am not having any luck. When I run the code in a console app it works
fine. When I run the same exact code in an aspx page it doesn't work.

Here's a condensed example of what I am talking about. If I run this code
in a console app the "count" variable will have a value equal to the number
of book nodes in "books.xml". When I run the same code in an aspx page the
count is always 0.

XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument("books.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator iterator = navigator.Select("bookstore/book");
int count = iteractor.Count;

Any ideas?

Most likely it has nothing to do with XPath. Whenever you are working
with file system in ASP.NET, use Server.MapPath to get files. Try
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(Server.MapPath("books.xml"));

I already am doing that. If I wasn't I'd be getting an exception because
the file wouldn't be located. I'm not getting an error. The XPathDocument
is getting loaded properly. The problem comes in when I try call
XPathNavigator.Select.

Now that weird. Make sure you it's the same document and exactly the
same code that works in command line.
