MessageBox.Show(myGclassLicence.Value);

Both of the above statements display       false
for an unchecked checkbox,     and       true
for a checked checkbox.

Is there any difference between ".InnerXml" and ".Value" for a selected single node?

(I'm guessing the answer is that there is no difference for a selected single node).

Also, is there any difference ever, between ".InnerXml" and ".Value"?

Thank you.

Sure is.  For XML elements, Value contains all the ordinary text between a node's starting and ending tag, and InnerXml contains everything between a node's starting and ending tag.

So if I have an XPathNavigator positioned at this node:

<my:group2 my:field4="Hi">
    <my:field1>Hello</my:field1>
    <my:field2 my:field5="yay">Goodbye</my:field2>
    <my:field3></my:field3>
</my:group2>

 InnerXml would be:

            <my:field1>Hello</my:field1>
            <my:field2 my:field5="yay">Goodbye</my:field2>
            <my:field3></my:field3>
       

And Value would be:

            Hello
            Goodbye
           
For leaf nodes, InnerXml and Value should typically be the same, but I'd suggest using Value for getting a node's value as that's what it's intended for.

Thank you, Jimmy.  I will follow your advice and use .Value as per your suggestion.

I do appreciate your help.
