Hi;
Ok, so in this case everything is under that namespace and I need to use it
for all nodes?
Which brings up a new question. This is for an app.dll.config file. Very
weird case - it is for a Word AddIn and we are supposed to not use
winword.exe.config but instead create an addin.dll.config and read from that.
The problem is the xmlns=... may be in the file. I have seen config files
with it and config files without it. So How do I do a select that handles
both cases?

Choose a prefix for your elements e.g. nc, then use an XmlNamespaceManager
XmlNamespaceManager namespaceManager = new
XmlNamespaceManager(yourXmlDocumentInstance.NameTable);
namespaceManager.AddNamespace("nc",
"
http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0");
then use that prefix in your XPath expressions and pass in the namespace
manager as the second argument to SelectNodes/SelectSingleNode e.g.
yourXmlDocumentInstance.SelectSingleNode("/nc:configuration")
On the other hand
yourXmlDocumentInstance.DocumentElement
gives you the root element without using XPath.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for Martin's suggestion.
SelectNodes() method Selects a list of nodes matching the XPath expression.
If the XPath expression does not include a prefix, SelectNodes() method is
assumed that the namespace URI is the empty namespace.(i.e. xmlns="") If
your XML includes a default namespace, we MUST use the XmlNamespaceManager
and add a prefix and namespace URI to it., just as Martin mentioned.
Otherwise, we should change the XPath expression to
XmlNodeList xnl =
yourXmlDocumentInstance.SelectNodes(@"*[local-name()='configuration']");
Or
Get the root element by the property of yourXmlDocumentInstance directly.
XmlElement configuration = yourXmlDocumentInstance.DocumentElement;
XmlElement configuration = yourXmlDocumentInstance["configuration"];
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more concern. We are
glad to assist you.
Have a great day,
Sincerely,
Wen Yuan

It's actually 3 nodes in and there can be multiple entries. So I guess I'll
try the select with the namespace and if that fails without.

Hello Dave,
For multiple entries, have you tried with Xpath
"*[local-name()='configuration']" ?
* will match all the namespace.
This method should work fine with/without namespace.
XmlNodeList xnl =
yourXmlDocumentInstance.SelectNodes(@"*@"*[local-name()='configuration']/*[l
ocal-name()='test']"");
Hope this helps.
