XPath on an XML document with namespace

by

If you are using C# then you need to specify the namespace for the “anyType” element in your XPath:

var xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.LoadXml( "your xml" );
var names = new XmlNamespaceManager( xml.NameTable );
names.AddNamespace( "xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" );
names.AddNamespace( "a", "http://tempuri.org/" );
var nodes = xml.SelectNodes( "//a:anyType[@xsi:type="Document"]", names );
