Why am I not able to start using XPath for XML?

Here is my screen
http://www.upload3r.com/serve/110810/1281559660.jpg


Am I doing something wrong?

I am.... so what is it?



I've included Xpath. In my references (2 kinds of references I think there are, and I included this this w/e-ness in both.)

I try to make an object and it's not recognizing the class...



BTW, it's not like my job depends on this or anything, I'm just saying I might go insane if I don't get this to work. This C Sharp business is pushing me over the edge, I have no idea why it's so hard to get these things to connect.



And yes, my job does depend on it.





I was going to use this XPath example, but I can't even get passed this reference error. Why is my life failing so hard? Why am I failing so hard? http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/myXPath.aspx

Is there a way to get XML from a string and NOT a document?

You can use the default XmlDocument class that .NET offers you.

Code:

---

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml("my XML text");

Also XPath is default included in .NET. Using the same XmlDocument class:

Code:

---

System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
...
var nodeList = doc.SelectNodes("my Xpath expression");

You need to add the reference to your project. The Add Reference dialog Recent tab that is in your screen shot doesn't mean those references have been added to your project - those are only references that have been used recently.

To see which references are in your project, open the Solution Explorer and expland the 'References' node.
