Re: XPATH conditional in C#

You can certainly use an XPath like:

my:field1 = 'Include'

my:field1[. = 'Include']

But you cannot use:

count(my:RepGroup1)

because this is not supported in code. However, you can do a selectNodes and then get the .Count property for the number you want.

Is there a way to run an XPATH query directly from managed code?

So I want to be able to run "count(my:RepGroup1)" and return a number. Or "my:field1 = 'Include'" and get a bool back.

I know I can do any of this using the API, but I want to use XPATH specifically. I am pulling an XPATH conditional from an SQL database and I want to perform an action only if the XPATH evals to true. Right now I have a hacky implementation that uses selectNodes with a filter which returns null when the XPATH is false. But I am hoping their is a cleaner implementation.

BTW - I am on the 2003 API's.
