If I create a node iterator using an xpath expression pointing to a specific
node, this will give me the value of that node:

ni.movenext()
ni.current.tostring

However, this doesn't:

ni.movenext.tostring

why is that? I'm not exactly sure what that second line is actually doing.
It appears to be returning the value of a sibling node several items down.

Huh. VS.net is letting it compile for me. Odd.

Ah! It returns a boolean. That explains what it's doing! Thanks.

That will be nice.

This won't compile anyway. If you mean ni.MoveNext().ToString() then
it's meaningless. MoveNext() method moves iterator to a next node and
returns boolean meaning true - success, false - no more nodes.
In .NET 2.0 you can use XPathNavigator().SelectSingleNode() method to
get XPathNavigator directly.
