I have the following 2 lines of code:

Dim node As XmlNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//response/agentStatusList/agentStatus/protectableVolumes/protectableVolume/metrics/lastWriteTime")
MsgBox(node.FirstChild.Value)

I’m looking to get the value for first instance of lastWriteTime which should be 2011-10-13T10:48:48.3833771-04:00 but the code just pops up an empty string. Sorry for the big post but here is the entire XML file for reference. Can anyone see why this isn’t working, or give me an example of how to make it work some other way?

Your nodes are all in a non-blank namespace, and you have not specified this namespace in your XPath query. That’s why it finds nothing.

Example:

Dim resolver = New XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable)
resolver.AddNamespace("c", "replayc.Xml.Contracts")
Dim node = xDoc.SelectSingleNode("//c:response/c:agentStatusList/c:agentStatus/c:protectableVolumes/c:protectableVolume/c:metrics/c:lastWriteTime", resolver)

The namespace prefix you use in the XPath text is completely arbitrary, as long as the URI it is mapped to matches the namespace URI in the document.

I have the following 2 lines of code: Dim node As XmlNode = xDoc.SelectSingleNode(//response/agentStatusList/agentStatus/protectableVolumes/protectableVolume/metrics/lastWriteTime)
