XML parse issue

[mazdotnet]

Hi, I have the following XML and I like to grab the node that is in
'List2' and mobilenum=416-222-5435

I have tried the following,
XmlNode xmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(@"/contacts/list
[@name='List2']/contact/@mobilenum=416-222-5435");
and
XmlNode xmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(@"/contacts/list
[@name='List2']/contact/@mobilenum='416-222-5435'");
but I get an error 'Expression must evaluate to a node-set.' Any
idea?

<contacts>
<list name="list1">
<contact>
<name>Name1</name>
<mobilenum>416-223-3345</mobilenum>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<profession>Web Manager</profession>
</contact>
</list>
<list name="List2">
<contact>
<name>Name2</name>
<mobilenum>416-222-5435</mobilenum>
<email>email</email>
<professionbbbb</profession>
</contact>
<contact>
<name>Name</name>
<mobilenum>416-223-2342</mobilenum>
<email>someemail</email>
<profession>aaaa</profession>
</contact>
</list>

Thanks
Maz.

Here you go, I was able to figure this out by using the site below, not sure
of all of the details between . and text() for multiples, but this gets you
what you asked for.

myXMLDoc.SelectSingleNode("contacts/list[@name='List2']/contact/mobilenum[text()='416-222-5435']")
