public:
 static System::Xml::XPath::XPathExpression ^ Compile(System::String ^ xpath);
public static System.Xml.XPath.XPathExpression Compile (string xpath);
static member Compile : string -> System.Xml.XPath.XPathExpression
Public Shared Function Compile (xpath As String) As XPathExpression

Parameters

xpath
String

An XPath expression.

Returns

XPathExpression

An XPathExpression object.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The XPath expression parameter is not a valid XPath expression.

XPathException

The XPath expression is not valid.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the XPath return type to determine how to process the XPath expression. The example uses the Compile method to return the new XPathExpression objects.

public ref class Sample
{
public:
   static void Evaluate( XPathExpression^ expr, XPathNavigator^ nav )
   {
      XPathNodeIterator^ i = nav->Select(expr);
      switch ( expr->ReturnType )
      {
         case XPathResultType::Number:
            Console::WriteLine( nav->Evaluate( expr ) );
            break;

         case XPathResultType::NodeSet:
            while ( i->MoveNext() )
                        Console::WriteLine( i->Current );

            if ( *safe_cast<bool^>(nav->Evaluate( expr )) )
                        Console::WriteLine( "True!" );

Remarks

An XPath expression is evaluated to yield one of the following result types.

Note

If a user-defined function with an invalid number of arguments (or an unimplemented user-defined function) is specified in the XPath expression, an exception occurs only at run time. User-defined functions are not checked at compile time and exceptions that result from user-defined functions occur only if execution evaluates the expression.

Compiles the specified XPath expression, with the IXmlNamespaceResolver object specified for namespace resolution, and returns an XPathExpression object that represents the XPath expression.

public:
 static System::Xml::XPath::XPathExpression ^ Compile(System::String ^ xpath, System::Xml::IXmlNamespaceResolver ^ nsResolver);
public static System.Xml.XPath.XPathExpression Compile (string xpath, System.Xml.IXmlNamespaceResolver? nsResolver);

static member Compile : string * System.Xml.IXmlNamespaceResolver -> System.Xml.XPath.XPathExpression
Public Shared Function Compile (xpath As String, nsResolver As IXmlNamespaceResolver) As XPathExpression

Parameters

xpath
String

An XPath expression.

nsResolver
IXmlNamespaceResolver

An object that implements the IXmlNamespaceResolver interface for namespace resolution.

Returns

XPathExpression

An XPathExpression object.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The XPath expression parameter is not a valid XPath expression.

XPathException

The XPath expression is not valid.

Remarks

An XPath expression is evaluated to yield one of the following result types.

Note

If a user-defined function with an invalid number of arguments (or an unimplemented user-defined function) is specified in the XPath expression, an exception occurs only at run-time. User-defined functions are not checked at compile time and exceptions resulting from user-defined functions occur only if execution evaluates the expression.

Note

It is not possible to compile a XPathExpression with a custom context in one step by passing an XsltContext, which implements IXmlNamespaceResolver, as an argument to this method. To use a XPathExpression with a custom context, you must call the SetContext method after compiling the expression.
