TemplateControl.XPath Method

Definition

Provides support for parsing and evaluating an XPath data-binding expression against an object at run time.

Overloads

XPath(String, String, IXmlNamespaceResolver)

Evaluates an XPath data-binding expression using the specified prefix and namespace mappings for namespace resolution and the specified format string to display the result.

XPath(String, IXmlNamespaceResolver)

Evaluates an XPath data-binding expression using the specified prefix and namespace mappings for namespace resolution.

XPath(String)

Evaluates an XPath data-binding expression.

XPath(String, String)

Evaluates an XPath data-binding expression using the specified format string to display the result.

XPath(String, String, IXmlNamespaceResolver)

Evaluates an XPath data-binding expression using the specified prefix and namespace mappings for namespace resolution and the specified format string to display the result.

protected public:
 System::String ^ XPath(System::String ^ xPathExpression, System::String ^ format, System::Xml::IXmlNamespaceResolver ^ resolver);
protected internal string XPath (string xPathExpression, string format, System.Xml.IXmlNamespaceResolver resolver);
member this.XPath : string * string * System.Xml.IXmlNamespaceResolver -> string
Protected Friend Function XPath (xPathExpression As String, format As String, resolver As IXmlNamespaceResolver) As String

Parameters

xPathExpression
String

The XPath expression to evaluate. For more information, see XPathBinder.

format
String

A .NET Framework format string to apply to the result.

resolver
IXmlNamespaceResolver

A set of prefix and namespace mappings used for namespace resolution.

Returns

A string that results from the evaluation of the data-binding expression and conversion to a string type.

Exceptions

The data-binding method can be used only for controls contained on a Page.

Remarks

The XPath method calls the XPathBinder.Eval method using the GetDataItem method to resolve the IXPathNavigable object reference that the expression is evaluated against.
