I'm trying to parse an XML document. The document in question is an AppxManifest file.An example document looks like this:\[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2010/manifest" xmlns:build="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/appx/2012/build" IgnorableNamespaces="build"> <Identity Name="uytury" Publisher="hygj" Version="1.0.0.12" ProcessorArchitecture="neutral" /> <Properties> <DisplayName>jhjj</DisplayName> <PublisherDisplayName>bhhjb</PublisherDisplayName> <Logo>Assets\StoreLogo.png</Logo> </Properties> <Prerequisites> <OSMinVersion>6.2.1</OSMinVersion> <OSMaxVersionTested>6.2.1</OSMaxVersionTested> </Prerequisites> <Resources> <Resource Language="EN" /> </Resources> <Applications> <Application Id="App" Executable="gfg.exe" EntryPoint="gfg.App"> <VisualElements DisplayName="fdsf" Logo="Assets\Logo.png" SmallLogo="Assets\SmallLogo.png" Description="gfdsg" ForegroundText="light" BackgroundColor="#2672EC"> <DefaultTile ShowName="allLogos" WideLogo="Assets\WideLogo.png" ShortName="gfdsg" /> <SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" BackgroundColor="#2672EC" /> <InitialRotationPreference> <Rotation Preference="portrait" /> <Rotation Preference="landscape" /> <Rotation Preference="portraitFlipped" /> <Rotation Preference="landscapeFlipped" /> </InitialRotationPreference> </VisualElements> <Extensions> <Extension Category="windows.search" /> <Extension Category="windows.shareTarget"> <ShareTarget> <DataFormat>Text</DataFormat> </ShareTarget> </Extension> </Extensions> </Application> </Applications> <build:Metadata> <build:Item Name="TargetFrameworkMoniker" Value="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12607895/.NETCore,Version=v4.5" /> <build:Item Name="VisualStudio" Version="11.0" /> <build:Item Name="OperatingSystem" Version="6.2.9200.16384 (win8_rtm.120725-1247)" /> <build:Item Name="Microsoft.Build.AppxPackage.dll" Version="11.0.50727.1" /> <build:Item Name="Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Build.Tasks.dll" Version="11.0.50727.1" /> </build:Metadata></Package>\[/code\]I try to parse it like so:\[code\]var xml=new XmlDocument();xml.Load(myfile);var mgr=new XmlNamespaceManager(xml.NameTable);mgr.AddNamespace("", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2010/manifest");var nodes=xml.SelectNodes("Applications");\[/code\]However, after I execute this, \[code\]nodes\[/code\] will never contain anything. The xml document is loaded and such though. using \[code\]SelectNodes("//*")\[/code\] returns every node as expected. What is my problem here? I've also tried many variations on that XPath query such as
- \[code\]/Package/Applications/Application\[/code\]
- \[code\]Applications/Application\[/code\]
- \[code\]Applications/*\[/code\]
