I have some xml data that has quotes similar to;
<items>
<item Title="first"/>
<item Title="Second with "quotes" like this"/>
<item Title="Third"/>
</items>
In Stylus Sudio i can get the second node using;
/items/item[@Title = "Second with "quotes" like this"]/@Title
... but this dosnt work with Visual Studio / C# / .NET 2.0
I get the impression that .net is replacing & with & in the xpath.
Can any one help?

Hi Paul,
how do you use that XPath expression? As a literal string in a C# source?

I am doing an
XmlNode myNode = MyXmlDoc.SelectSingleNode(xpath, myNameSpaceMgr);
the xpath looks a bit like;
/items/item[@Title="first"]/item[@Title="second"]... etc etc
I found an answer at;
http://vaibhavgaikwad.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/handling-apostrophe-single-quote-in-xpath-expressions-in-net/
so i have just changed my code and how a few hours to wait whilst it churns through loads of xml....
Kinda surprised that i cant simply escape the quotes in some way, especially irritating that Stylus Studio worked ok.
Well worth checking out xpathmania so as to accurately check how Visual Studio / .NET / C# is going to work.
