The XPath expression in SelectSingleNode does not pick up the default
namespace of the xml document.
The following code sample shows how to make use of the namespace manager
that can be passed into SelectSingleNode:
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("select.xml");
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsmgr.AddNamespace("tns", "
http://www.disclosureusa.org/filingreceipt.xsd");
XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
XmlNode receiptdate = root.SelectSingleNode(".//tns:receiptdate", nsmgr);
//You need to qualify the XPath with the namespace of the node that you are
trying to select.
Console.WriteLine(receiptdate.InnerText);
Also, to get no validation using XmlValidatingReader, you can set the
ValidationType property on the reader to ValdiationType.None
