Question

I need to extract attributes from an XML file and then add them to a listview.

How do I use Xpath (winforms) to extract attributes:

e.g:

<element foo="1" meh="2" lol="3" hi="4">meh</element>

How do I extract the data within “foo” and “lol” for example? (So “1” and “3”)

Answer 1

/element/@foo
/element/@lol

of course if you want to get such nodes from a c# application you need to do something like this:

  XmlDocument o = new XmlDocument();
  o.Load(@"c:\file.xml");
  var attribute1 = o.SelectSingleNode("/element/@foo");
