XPATH Expression
Hi, i have a given XML (s. attached File)
it includes an Export of a Database-Schema
but the structure is "oversimplified"
Just nested Properties and Property Tags.
The Property-Tags named by Attribute PropertyName
Parent-Property further specified by Attribute MetaType (e.g. DbTable, DbColumn)
I Need different xpath queries to select nodes e.g.
all Property-Nodes with MetaType = "DbColumn" and with Primarykey=true and ColumnType=1
Thank you
Peter

"should"... it does not
so you need to be more precise on what you need
The XPath I sent does exactly what you asked for
So I assume the instructions were not precise enough
Tell me what exactly you need from the XML

Now i write my own c# based test-app.
It works.
sorry, please don't be angry with me.
Thanks

But there is none in the example XML
for the primary key columns, columnType is 0 or 3 in this example
