Examples

The following example displays the titles of all novels.

XPathDocument^ document = gcnew XPathDocument("books.xml");
XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();

// Select all book nodes.
XPathNodeIterator^ nodes = navigator->SelectDescendants("book", "", false);

// Select all book nodes that have the matching attribute value.
XPathExpression^ expr = navigator->Compile("book[@genre='novel']");
while (nodes->MoveNext())
{
    XPathNavigator^ navigator2 = nodes->Current->Clone();
    if (navigator2->Matches(expr))
    {
        navigator2->MoveToFirstChild();
        Console::WriteLine("Book title:  {0}", navigator2->Value);
    }
}
XPathDocument document = new XPathDocument("books.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();

// Select all book nodes.
XPathNodeIterator nodes = navigator.SelectDescendants("book", "", false);

// Select all book nodes that have the matching attribute value.
XPathExpression expr = navigator.Compile("book[@genre='novel']");
while (nodes.MoveNext())
{
    XPathNavigator navigator2 = nodes.Current.Clone();
    if (navigator2.Matches(expr))
    {
        navigator2.MoveToFirstChild();
        Console.WriteLine("Book title:  {0}", navigator2.Value);
    }
}
Dim document As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument("books.xml")
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = document.CreateNavigator()

' Select all book nodes.
Dim nodes As XPathNodeIterator = navigator.SelectDescendants("book", "", False)

' Select all book nodes that have the matching attribute value.
Dim expr As XPathExpression = navigator.Compile("book[@genre='novel']")
While nodes.MoveNext()
    Dim navigator2 As XPathNavigator = nodes.Current.Clone()
    If navigator2.Matches(expr) Then
        navigator2.MoveToFirstChild()
        Console.WriteLine("Book title:  {0}", navigator2.Value)
    End If
End While

The example uses the file, books.xml, as input.

Remarks

This method has no effect on the state of the XPathNavigator. This method is identical to the XPathNavigator.Matches method, except that a XPathExpression object containing the compiled XPath expression is specified, rather than an XPath expression String.
