Hello koleto115,

node.SelectSingelNode("DetectorData").Attributes["CollectionID"].InnerText

Should do it.

Yes, but is there a simple construction that returns string.Empty?<br />
I don't want to check whether the attribute is there or not...<br />
The dotted notation is very ugly, I hopped that there is a kind of XPath trick to retrieve the attribute value with a single method ... <br />
somthing like node.SelectSingleNode(&quot;Det<wbr />ectorData/<wbr />@Collectio<wbr />nID&quot; ..... something that like that ...

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have xml like this one:<br />
<br />
<br />
&lt;DetectorData CollectionID='1'/&gt;<br />
<br />
whit XSLT one can get the string value like this:<br />
<br />
&lt;xsl:value-of select=&quot;DetectorData/@Coll<wbr />ectionID&quot;/<wbr />&gt;<br />
<br />
How to get the string value with XPath and c# with similar construction?<br />
<br />
node.SelectSingleNode(&quot;Det<wbr />ectorData/<wbr />@Collectio<wbr />nID&quot;) .... does this works?

How to select a value of an attribute with XPath?

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
