I have an integer attribute declared in the xsd file. In the xml file, I need to use hex for the value. I can’t find info about the syntax about hex value.

Do you not know the structure of your XML?

in order to walk the tree with xpaths, you really need the namespaces

mgr.AddNamespace("foo","the URI for foo")

mgr.AddNamespace("foo2","the URI for foo")

Is your issue maybe in using the namespace in the xpath?

Just declaring a namespacemanager does not automatically load all the namespaces

When it's a default namespace ...

Edit: The W3C spec for XPath 1.0 (section 2.3 Node tests) says in part:<br />
"<br />
A QName in the node test is expanded into an expanded-name using the namespace declarations from the expression context. This is the same way expansion is done for element type names in start and end-tags except that the default namespace declared with xmlns is not used: if the QName does not have a prefix, then the namespace URI is null (this is the same way attribute names are expanded). <br />

<br />
So it's W3C's fault and I still don't see why they would define it that way. :mad:<br />

maybe you're just wondering why you can't query using xmlns as an attribute

Edit: The W3C spec for XPath 1.0 (section 5.3 Attribute Nodes) says in part:<br />
"<br />
There are no attribute nodes corresponding to attributes that declare namespaces <br />
