Question

I’m getting the exception that NodeType “None” is not supported when trying to run the following code.

public int ObjectContentI(string XmlPath)
{
    XmlNodeReader xnr = new XmlNodeReader(this.xmlr.SelectSingleNode(XmlPath));
    return xnr.ReadElementContentAsInt();
}

this.xmlr is a XmlDocument with a document successfully loaded in it. XmlPath contains a valid XPath url.

How do i set the NodeType (xnr.NodeType is readonly) or am I doing something else wrong?

Part of my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ship weapons="0">
  <cost>
    <metal>250</metal>
    <crystal>100</crystal>
  </cost>
  <health>
    <shields>750</shields>
    <sregene>10</sregene>
    <hitpoints>1000</hitpoints>
    <oxygen cps="2">25000</oxygen>
  </health>

My XPath: “/ship/health/shields/text()”

Well, your approach is correct but not completely.

Let’s suppose

XmlNode n = myXMLDoc.SelectSingleNode("/ship/health/shields/");

n.InnerXML OR n.InnerText should give you what you need.
