Question

I have written the following asp.net code ,How to access the value of minvalue from color node and bgcolor from chart node ?

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string xmlFile = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("Data/Example.xml");
doc.Load(xmlFile);
XmlNodeList xmlnode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("value");

My XML looks like this:

<Chart editMode='1' bgColor='FFFFFF' bgAlpha='0' showBorder='0' upperLimit='1000' >
   <colorRange> 
      <color minValue='0' maxValue='100' code='F6BD0F' />
   </colorRange>
   <value>665</value>
</Chart>

Try this..

        XmlNode chartNode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("Chart")[0];
        XmlNode colorNode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("Chart")[0].ChildNodes[0].ChildNodes[0];

        string minvalue = colorNode.Attributes["minValue"].Value;
        string bgColor = chartNode.Attributes["bgColor"].Value;

EDIT: This code should now work, but it would probably be easier to use one of the XPath suggestions posted
