    All I want to do is select all the nodes under the docment root. e.g: 1 2 Traffic Alerts 1 1 News Alerts 1 3 testing category What xpath would return all the Category nodes? But I don't want it to be specific to this xml file. /\ |_ E X E GG

      To return a collection (list) of nodes, you need to use the SelectNodes function. Using your example XML, to return all of the Category nodes, you need to use the following XPath query: //Category. This tells the parser to find all of the "Category" nodes that are one level below the root node.

      Scott.
