XmlNode.SelectSingleNode syntax to search within a node in C#

Question

I want to limit my search for a child node to be within the current node I am on. For example, I have the following code:

XmlNodeList myNodes = xmlDoc.Docum         


        

Answer 1

A leading // always starts at the root of the document; use .// to start at the current node and search just its descendants:

XmlNode lastnameNode = myNode.SelectSingleNode(".//LastName");
