Category
General
Read-Only Value
The XPath of the element or attribute associated with the selected node in an instance message.
XSD Persistence
Implicit in the structure of the XSD.
Remarks
You can examine this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a node of an appropriate type (including a root Record node) in BizTalk Editor.
This property is read-only; however, you can copy this value and paste it to another location.
When you examine the Instance XPath property for Any Element and Any Attribute nodes, you will see one of the substrings "<Any>" or "<AnyAttribute>", respectively, in the property value string. These elements appear in the property value strings as wildcard placeholders in the positions of whatever element(s) or attribute(s), respectively, actually occur in a corresponding instance message. Actual elements named "Any" or attributes named "AnyAttribute" are not likely to occur in instance messages.
