Question

I have a SQL query like this :

SELECT      
     myXmlField.value('(./row/@myAttribute)[1]', 'nVarchar(max)') as myAttribute
FROM myTABLE
   Where myID = 640

The SQL query works fine, but now, how can I extract the attribute from the XML field that I have in MS SQL Server, with Subsonic?

I am using Visual Studio 2005, .net 2.0, C#, and SubSonic 2.1.

Thanks a lot.

Well… I solved it loading the value of the XML field, subsonic returns it as a string, in a XmlDocument object.

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(MyTable.myXmlField); //MyTable entitie created by subsonic.
doc.SelectSingleNode("./row/@myAttribute").Value //Here I get the attribute from the XML field.

Any other way to do it?
