Create an XML file
On the Windows Start menu, point to Notepad.exe, type notepad.exe, and then click OK to open Notepad. Copy the following code and paste it into Notepad: XML Version = '1.0' Encoding = 'UTF-16'?>
BK: BOOK>
BK: BOOK>
BK: BOOK>
BK: BOOK>
bk: books> Copy the following code and paste it into Notepad: On the File menu, click Save. Copy the code below and paste it into Notepad: In Save As Save Type Text box, type all files. In the File Name text box, type Books.xml, and then click OK.

Create a Visual C # .NET project The following code examples use the following objects and classes:
Xpathnavigator class: XPathnavigator Based on the XML Path Language (XPATH) data model, this class provides the method you need to implement XPath queries for any data storage area. XPATHEXPRESSION Class: This class package has been compiled XPath expressions, which will return this class when calling Compile. SELECT, EVALUATE and MATCHES methods use this class. XMLNameSpaceManager class: XMLNameSpaceManager is used to parse namespaces, add namespaces to a collection, and delete namespaces from a collection. XMLNameSpaceManager also provides range management for these namespaces. Because Books.xml uses the "BK" namespace below in your code, you must use XMLNameSpaceManager. XPathNodeTeiterator class: This object provides an iterative program for a set of selected nodes. To create and run the Visual Basic .NET project, follow these steps:
Create a Windows application project in Visual C # .NET. The Form1 is added to the project by default. Place a Button control and a TextBox control on Form1. Set the multiline property of the TextBox control to True. Click to expand the TextBox control to view four to five lines of data. Add the following code to the Code window: use system.xml;
Using system.xml.xpath; To load the Books.xml file file into the XMLDocument object, add the following code to the Click event of the Button object. XmlDocument oxmldoc = new xmldocument (); oxmldoc.load (@ "c: /books.xml"); make sure the Books.xml path in the front code points to the correct path on your computer. Create an XPathnavigator object using the CreateNavigator method for the XMLDocument object to run XPath query: xpathnavigator oxpathnav;
OXPathnav = oxmldoc.createnavigator (); Create an XPATHEXPIRESSION class using XPathnavigator, then delivering XPath query as parameters: xpatHexpression Expr;
EXPR = OXPathnav.compile ("// BK: Book [position ()> = 2]"); add "BK" namespace to the XMLNameSpaceManager object using the AddNameSpace method: XMLNameSpaceManager (OXPathnav.nameTable);
oxmlNSManager.AddNamespace ( "bk", "http: // myserver / myschemas / Books"); the use of XPathExpression SetContext method XPathExpression context to XmlNamespaceManager: Expr.SetContext (oxmlNSManager); To run the XPath query and return the selected The node, pass the expression to the SelectEterator of XPathNodeEiterator: XpathnodeEiterator Iterator = OXPathnav.select (expr);
While (item.movenext ())
{
This.TextBox1.text = this.TextBox1.text "/ r / n" item.current.value;
} The code in the Button1_Click event should be displayed as follows: xmldocument oxmldoc = new xmldocument ();
Try
{
OXMLDoc.Load ("C: //Books.xml");
Xpathnavigator oxpathnav;
OXPathnav = oxmldoc.createnavigator ();
XPATHEXPRESSION EXPR;
EXPR = OXPATHNAV.Compile ("// bk: Book"; Position ()> = 2] ");
XMLNameSpaceManager oxmlnsmanager = new xmlnamespacemanager (OXPATHNAV.NAMETABLE);
OxmlnsManager.adDNamespace ("BK", "http:// myserver / myschemas / books");
Exp.setContext (OXMLnsManager);
XpathnodeTeiterator Iterator = OXPathnav.select (expr);
While (item.movenext ())
{
This.TextBox1.text = this.textbox1.text "/ r / n" item.current.value;}
OXMLNSManager = NULL;
OXPathnav = NULL;
oxmldoc = null;
}
Catch (Exception EXC)
{
Messagebox.show (Exc.Message);
} Generate and run the project. Click Button1. Note that a book list will appear in the text box, which is greater than or equal to 2.
