Question

I have a very complicated xml

and I need the single value from

selectSingleNode(@"/TimeInTransitResponse/TransitResponse/ServiceSummary/EstimatedArrival/BusinessTransitDays").InnerText)

but there are about 7 entries with this location so it only returns the first one i need the last.

Answer 1

Use SelectNodes instead:

Dim nodeList As XmlNodeList = root.SelectNodes(@"/TimeInTransitResponse/TransitResponse/ServiceSummary/EstimatedArrival/BusinessTransitDays")
Dim lastNode As XmlNode = nodeList.Item(nodeList.Count - 1)
Dim lastNodeValue As Decimal = Convert.ToDecimal(lastNode.InnerText)

Then take the last node in the list.
