Question

According to MSDN there’s an “Item” property associated with the XmlDocument class:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx

I can’t seem to get it to work though.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("<item><name>wrench</name></item>");

string myItem = doc.Item["item/name"].InnerText;

…fails to compile for example. What’s the correct way to use this property if it does exist?

Answer 1

An indexer in C# is exposed as a parametrized property called Item to other languages.

In C#, just use indexer syntax:

var result = someObject["something"];
