c#: Hello All

In the following XML Below which is a XMLDocument in my application.

I want to remove the <extensions></extensions> Node completely.

What is the best way to do this, my files are not that large

Thanks

Here is a solution
public class RemoveNodeEx
{
public static readonly string xml = @"
<gpx>
<wpt lat=""40.735517"" lon=""-74.028613"">
<time>2006-04-08T00:49:04Z</time>
<name>001</name>
<sym>Waypoint</sym>
<type>Other</type>
<extensions>
<label xmlns=""http://www.topografix.com/GPX/gpx_overlay/0/3"">
<label_text>001</label_text>
</label>
</extensions>
</wpt>
<wpt lat=""40.735517"" lon=""-74.028613"">
<time>2006-04-08T00:49:04Z</time>
<name>002</name>
<sym>Waypoint</sym>
<type>Other</type>
<extensions>
<label xmlns=""http://www.topografix.com/GPX/gpx_overlay/0/3"">
<label_text>002</label_text>
</label>
</extensions>
</wpt>
</gpx>
".Trim();
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(RemoveNodeEx.xml);

System.Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml);

XmlNodeList nodes = doc.SelectNodes(@"/gpx/wpt/extensions");
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node);
}
System.Console.WriteLine("------------------");
System.Console.WriteLine(doc.OuterXml);
}
}

Note: I had to remove the namespace declarations from the root element to
get this to work correctly.
