i am using xpath to navigate through this xml file.
i used the following code to navigate through items node.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(xmlfile);
XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression exp = nav.Compile("rss/channel/item");
XPathNodeIterator iterator = nav.Select(exp);
XPathNodeIterator iter1;
while (iterator.MoveNext())
{
iter1 = iterator.Current.SelectChildren("media:content", "");
if (iter1.Count > 0)
{
while (iter1.MoveNext())
{
if (iter1.Current.HasAttributes == true)
{
string url = iter1.Current.GetAttribute("url", "");
}
}
}
}
but when i execute the code, the iter1.count always returns zero. if i select anyother children(like title or description)i am able to display the value.but when i select media:content(one of the subitems of item) i am not able to display the attribute value.
Where am i going wrong?
Any suggestions please
regards

hi guys,
i solved it by myself. for everybody's reference,
iter1 = iterator.Current.SelectChildren("content", "http://tools.search.yahoo.com/mrss/");
i need to include the namespace URI in the selectchildren method and it worked.
Thanks
Regards
