I have to agree with you that it is slower to do this in xpath. I might actually just do it in the application language itself.

I thought of stripping the non digit characters from teh date, but that doesn't work on the nodeset of course,<br />
only option that is elegant enough to maintain seems to me that you get the max and min through application code

Can anyone suggest a clean way of grabbing the maximum and minimum value of an XML document &nbsp;( say datetime of an event ).<br />
<br />
e.g say I have a list of event nodes and I want to grab the min and max event date in the xml. <br />
<br />
I &nbsp;can not use XPath 2.0 so any functions that are available for 2.0 to solve this problem can not be used. <br />
<br />
Any ideas guys?

XPath 1.0 - Getting maximum and minimum value of a node

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).
