注意
XmlMapQuery allows developers to query for the existence of particular maps. It can not be used to query for a piece of data in a map. For example, it is valid for a mapped range to exist in which the XPath for that range is "/root/People[@Age="23"]/FirstName". An XmlMapQuery call for this XPath will returnreturns the correct range. However, a query for "/root/People[FirstName="Joe"]" expecting to find "Joe" within the above mapped range will fail because the XPath definitions for the mapped ranges are different.
