  using System; using System.Xml;

  namespace Project1 { class Class { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) {

   XmlDocument xmlDoc; 
   XmlNode     xmlNode; 
   String      xpathExpr; 
  
   xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); 
   xmlDoc.LoadXml( "<?xml version='1.0'?><root><person1><name>Martin Fowler</name></person1><person2><name>Kent Beck</name></person2><person3><name>Dave Astels</name></person3><xyz></xyz><abc></abc></root>" ); 
  
   xpathExpr = "/root/person[name='Martin Fowler']"; 
   xmlNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(xpathExpr); 
  
   Console.WriteLine(xmlNode.OuterXml); 
   Console.ReadLine()
  

  } } }

  in the above example, can I get the all person() nodes.Its nothing but person% concept using xpath or any other thing. Please help me.

  Hi,

  you can use the following statement: "/root/person[contains(name,'Martin Fowler')]"

  You can get all the person nodes from the above statement.

  Cheers, Niroshan
