I am trying to read all orders element, which have the attribute
Phase="Reorganize". I am using the following code on the xml document.

private void LoadPhase (XmlDocument Doc, TreeNode Parent, Phase OrderPhase)
{
XmlNodeList Nodes =
Doc.SelectNodes("/OrderFile/Orders/Order[@Phase='Reorganize']");
foreach (XmlElement Node in Nodes)
{
string S = Node.InnerText;
}
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OrderFile Version="1.0">
<Orders>
<Order Phase="Reorganize">DA-(1)
<PhaseError>I dont want this text</PhaseError>
</Order>
<Order UniqueId="1" Phase="Politics">DPR-(2)</Order>
</Orders>
</OrderFile>

My problem is that the Node.InnerText gives me all the following test
"DA-(1)<PhaseError>I dont want this text</PhaseError>, What I need is the
"DA-(1)" part.

How do only read the current elements value and not all it childs nodes?

I checked all the properties of the Node using the debugger, but apparently
none of them contains only the element own value

In XPath data model element's string value is concatenation of values of
descendant text nodes - exactly what you get. What you want is first
text node child of Order element -
/OrderFile/Orders/Order[@Phase='Reorganize']/text()[1]
