c# xmlnode select single node to remove

Question

I have an XML document that has nodes/values like this:

<data name="btnAutoTrans" xml:space="preserve">
  <value>Auto Trans</value>
</data>
<data name="btnDieEngine" xml:space="preserve">
 <value>Diesel Engine</value>
</data>

I need to select a single node for a specific name="btnDieEngine" (for example)

but all the code I have tried from searching google always returns NULL value.

The original code I had was

XmlNode node = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("data[name='btnDieEngine']");

but this returns null.

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

Your XPath is invalid. Try that one:

XmlNode node = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("data[@name='btnDieEngine']");
