Problem with SelectNodes [modified]

Brady Kelly

Why does this query return only one group node from the given XML? I know it's not the worlds best XML, but this is a very young prototype.

XmlNodeList groupsNodes = sectionXml.SelectNodes("Groups/Group");

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Section name="ClientInvoices">
<Groups>
    <Group name="Headers" driverQuery="ClientInvoices" destination="XCINVK.TXT">
      <Line recordDefinition="InvHeader" />
    </Group>
    <Group name="Detail" driverQuery="ClientInvoices" groupKey="InvNoSort" destination="XCINVK.TXT">
      <Line recordDefinition="DetailFooter" />
      <Footer>
        <Line recordDefinition="InvDetail" />
      </Footer>
    </Group>
</Groups>
</Section>

[Added 17:38] Sorry, it was a brain fart on my part. I quickly switched to another document to compare operation, and forgot to switch back. I was querying a document with only one group.

The following code should return an XmlNodeList object that contains 2 nodes:

XmlDocument sectionXml = new XmlDocument();
sectionXml.Load("sample.xml");
XmlNodeList groupsNodes = sectionXml.SelectNodes("/Section/Groups/Group");

Changing the XPath query produced the required output.
