Iterate through XML using .NET 1.1

[Christian Havel]

Hi,

I have a XML like following:
<entities>
<entity created="09.01.2008 12:43:50">
<item NAME="MyName" VALUE="MyValue" />
... some more items
</entity>
... some more entities
</entites>

I want to iterate through the XML but I want only to read the entity objects
where the created DateTime value is higher than a from me defined DateTime
value.
How can I do this using C# and .NET 1.1?

If you have loaded the Xml into an XmlDocument object, you can use the
SelectNodes method to get an XmlNodeList (pseudocode syntax):

XmlNodeList myNodes = myXmlDocument.SelectNodes("entities/entity[@created

'"+ myDateTime.ToString() +"']);

You can then use the myNodes nodlist to get out specific element data.
