need some XML help

[Guest]

I have an xml file such as
<cars>
<make selected=true>BMW</make>
<model>325 Ci</model>
</cars>

I can I read and get
<make selected=true> ?

I want to show it on the screen only if selected = true.
I can get all of them, but I can't check for the selected value

Hi Mike,

use XPath:

Dim doc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument
doc.LoadXml("<cars><make selected=""true"">BMW</make><model>325
Ci</model></cars>")
Dim nc As XmlNodeList = doc.SelectNodes("/cars/make[@selected='true']")
For Each n As XmlNode In nc
Debug.WriteLine(n.InnerXml)
Next


Have a look at the XPath-Tutorial, if you are not familiar with XPath:
