selectsinglenode with .xml

cat5ive · Sep 18, 2005

Hi,

Can someone please explain what the .xml in this statement mean?

Code:

param = xmldoc.selectSingleNode("//datetype")[COLOR=red].xml[/color]

Thanks in advance

This is a Microsoft extension to the W3C DOM. It basically returns the xml representation of that node, so:

Code:

xmldoc.selectSingleNode("a/b").xml

For XML:

Code:

<a>
  <a>1</a>
  <b>
    <c>2</c>
    <d>3></d>
  </b>
</a>

Will return:

Code:

<b>
  <c>2</c>
  <d>3></d>
</b>
