Extensions.XPathSelectElements Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Xml.XPath
Assembly:
System.Xml.XPath.XDocument.dll
Assembly:
System.Xml.Linq.dll
Assembly:
netstandard.dll

Selects a collection of elements using an XPath expression.

Overloads

XPathSelectElements(XNode, String)

Selects a collection of elements using an XPath expression.
XPathSelectElements(XNode, String, IXmlNamespaceResolver)

Selects a collection of elements using an XPath expression, resolving namespace prefixes using the specified IXmlNamespaceResolver.

Remarks

Although the ordering of returned collections is not specified in the XML XPath Language 1.0 Recommendation, this extension method returns nodes in document order.

Note that nodes are returned in document order even when you use a reverse axis, such as preceding-sibling or ancestor-or-self.

XPathSelectElements(XNode, String)

Source:
XNodeNavigator.cs
Source:
XNodeNavigator.cs
Source:
XNodeNavigator.cs

Selects a collection of elements using an XPath expression.

public:
[System::Runtime::CompilerServices::Extension]
 static System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Xml::Linq::XElement ^> ^ XPathSelectElements(System::Xml::Linq::XNode ^ node, System::String ^ expression);
public static System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Xml.Linq.XElement> XPathSelectElements (this System.Xml.Linq.XNode node, string expression);
static member XPathSelectElements : System.Xml.Linq.XNode * string -> seq<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>
<Extension()>
Public Function XPathSelectElements (node As XNode, expression As String) As IEnumerable(Of XElement)

Parameters

node
XNode

The XNode on which to evaluate the XPath expression.

expression
String

A String that contains an XPath expression.

Returns

IEnumerable<XElement>

An IEnumerable<T> of XElement that contains the selected elements.

Examples

The following example creates a small XML tree and uses XPathSelectElements to select a set of elements.

                XElement root = new XElement("Root",  
    new XElement("Child1", 1),  
    new XElement("Child1", 2),  
    new XElement("Child1", 3),  
    new XElement("Child2", 4),  
    new XElement("Child2", 5),  
    new XElement("Child2", 6)  
);  
IEnumerable<XElement> list = root.XPathSelectElements("./Child2");  
foreach (XElement el in list)  
    Console.WriteLine(el);  

                Dim root As XElement = _  
    <Root>  
        <Child1>1</Child1>  
        <Child1>2</Child1>  
        <Child1>3</Child1>  
        <Child2>4</Child2>  
        <Child2>5</Child2>  
        <Child2>6</Child2>  
    </Root>  
Dim list As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = root.XPathSelectElements("./Child2")  
For Each el As XElement In list  
    Console.WriteLine(el)  
Next

This example produces the following output:

<Child2>4</Child2>  
<Child2>5</Child2>  
<Child2>6</Child2>

Remarks

Although the ordering of returned collections is not specified in the XML XPath Language 1.0 Recommendation, this extension method returns nodes in document order.

Note that nodes are returned in document order even when you use a reverse axis, such as preceding-sibling or ancestor-or-self.

static member XPathSelectElements : System.Xml.Linq.XNode * string * System.Xml.IXmlNamespaceResolver -> seq<System.Xml.Linq.XElement>
<Extension()>
Public Function XPathSelectElements (node As XNode, expression As String, resolver As IXmlNamespaceResolver) As IEnumerable(Of XElement)

Parameters

node
XNode

The XNode on which to evaluate the XPath expression.

expression
String

A String that contains an XPath expression.

resolver
IXmlNamespaceResolver

A IXmlNamespaceResolver for the namespace prefixes in the XPath expression.

Returns

IEnumerable<XElement>

An IEnumerable<T> of XElement that contains the selected elements.

Examples

This example creates an XML tree that contains a namespace. It uses an XmlReader to read the XML document. It then gets an XmlNameTable from the XmlReader, and an XmlNamespaceManager from the XmlNameTable. It uses the XmlNamespaceManager when selecting the list of elements.

                string markup = @"  
<aw:Root xmlns:aw='http://www.adventure-works.com'>  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 1</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 2</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 3</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 4</aw:Child2>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 5</aw:Child2>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 6</aw:Child2>  
</aw:Root>";  
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(markup));  
XElement root = XElement.Load(reader);  
XmlNameTable nameTable = reader.NameTable;  
XmlNamespaceManager namespaceManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(nameTable);  
namespaceManager.AddNamespace("aw", "http://www.adventure-works.com");  
IEnumerable<XElement> elements = root.XPathSelectElements("./aw:Child1", namespaceManager);  
foreach (XElement el in elements)  
    Console.WriteLine(el);  

                Dim markup As XElement = _  
<aw:Root xmlns:aw="http://www.adventure-works.com">  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 1</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 2</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child1>child one data 3</aw:Child1>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 4</aw:Child2>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 5</aw:Child2>  
    <aw:Child2>child two data 6</aw:Child2>  
</aw:Root>  
Dim reader As XmlReader = markup.CreateReader  
Dim nameTable As XmlNameTable = reader.NameTable  
Dim namespaceManager As XmlNamespaceManager = New XmlNamespaceManager(nameTable)  
namespaceManager.AddNamespace("aw", "http://www.adventure-works.com")  
Dim elements As IEnumerable(Of XElement) = markup.XPathSelectElements("./aw:Child1", namespaceManager)  
For Each el As XElement In elements  
    Console.WriteLine(el)  
Next

This example produces the following output:

<aw:Child1 xmlns:aw="http://www.adventure-works.com">child one data 1</aw:Child1>  
<aw:Child1 xmlns:aw="http://www.adventure-works.com">child one data 2</aw:Child1>  
<aw:Child1 xmlns:aw="http://www.adventure-works.com">child one data 3</aw:Child1>

Remarks

You can use this method to evaluate XPath expressions that contain namespace prefixes.

Although the ordering of returned collections is not specified in the XML XPath Language 1.0 Recommendation, this extension method returns nodes in document order.

Note that nodes are returned in document order even when you use a reverse axis, such as preceding-sibling or ancestor-or-self.
