Question

Answer 1

The "//" is a global look up.

What you'll need to do is get a list of all children

XmlNodeList nodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//Child");

loop through that list and do a

XmlNode node = nodes.SelectSingleNode("element3");

This will return null if it's not there, and will step through every child looking.
