What about the performance between LinQ to Xml and using the XPath

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

Can somebody say something if there is a huge difference in performance when
I compare using Linq to Xml and the XPath ?
I prefer the Linq instead of the XPath..

No reason to expect a big difference.

Both navigate a XML DOM. And they do it a very similar way.

For XPath the XPath expression need to be parsed, but that
should be just a little overhead.

I would pick XPath. It is a standard. So you can reuse
your knowledge in practically any programming language.
