public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode SelectSingleNode (string XPath, string PrefixMapping = "", bool FastSearchSkippingTextNodes = true);abstract member SelectSingleNode : string * string * bool -> Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNodePublic Function SelectSingleNode (XPath As String, Optional PrefixMapping As String = "", Optional FastSearchSkippingTextNodes As Boolean = true) As XMLNodeParameters
- XPath
- String
A valid XPath string. For more information about XPath, see XPath Reference.
- PrefixMapping
- String
Provides the prefix in the schema against which to perform the search. Use the PrefixMapping parameter if your XPath parameter uses names to search for elements.
- FastSearchSkippingTextNodes
- Boolean
true skips all text nodes while searching for the specified node. false includes text nodes in the search. Default value is false.
Returns
A XMLNode object that represents the first node that matches the XPath parameter in the document; null if no nodes matching the XPath parameter are found.
Remarks
Setting the FastSearchSkippingTextNodes parameter to true diminishes performance because Microsoft Office Word searches all nodes in a document against the text contained in the node.
