Hi Greg,
thanks for getting back to me, this may be a silly question but the getnamednodeproperty method does not work, the value that i want is inside a node not inside a property. When i try it i just get a blank string back.. here is my code.
XPathNavigator target = formControl1.XmlForm.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode(Constants.ASSET_INSTANCE_ID,xmlnsm);
string output = formControl1.XmlForm.MainDataSource.GetNamedNodeProperty( target, "ass_InstanceID" );
