Question

The XML (fragment):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<GetXMLResponse xmlns="http://sitecore.net/visual/">
<GetXMLResult>
<sitecore xmlns="">
<status>ok</status>

The code (fragment):

XmlNamespaceManager nsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(template.NameTable);
nsManager.AddNamespace("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
nsManager.PushScope();

XmlNode sitecoreRoot = template.SelectSingleNode("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/*[namespace-uri()='http://sitecore.net/visual/' and local-name()='GetXMLResponse']", nsManager);

string status = sitecoreRoot.SelectSingleNode("/GetXMLResult/sitecore/status").Value;

sitecoreRoot element returns the correct node. However the XPath to get the status always returns null, even though the siteCoreRoot.OuterXMl property shows the element is present.

The only thing I can think of is the line:

<sitecore xmlns="">

is throwing off the XPath

TIA

XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(cd.NameTable);
        ns.AddNamespace("sp", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
        ns.AddNamespace("sc", "http://sitecore.net/visual/");
        XmlNode sitecoreRoot = cd.SelectSingleNode("//sp:Envelope/sp:Body/sc:GetXMLResponse/sc:GetXMLResult/sitecore/status", ns);
var status = sitecoreRoot.InnerText;
