Hi All, Please tell me how to write XML query in Asp.net. I hav temple.xml file which contain data of temple. now i want to apply search on it.

Well, this is not an ASP.NET question really, it's a C# or VB.NET question. You can use an XMLDocument and the DOM to search your XML, or I believe you can use LINQ, if you're using 3.5

Hi Priya , U cannot directly Query an XML Decument in ASP.Net 2.0 , However you need to parse them to check for the desired result , It got significantly easier with LINQ introduced , As per your requirement if you are using ASP.net 2.0 create an instance of XMLTextReader and read thru the document

XMLDocument is far better for searching.
