Check if row exists in an xml

Question

I wanna be able to check if my xml, xmlChecklistItem already contains a certain row.

my code:

var node = xmlTemp.selectSingleNode("//ChecklistItem/Row");

where my node.xml is equal to the ff:

<Row piID="S000000051" piItemName="Communications - Cable TV"/>

and xmlChecklistItem goes like this:

<ChecklistItem>
<Row piID="S000000051" piItemName="Communications - Cable TV"/>
</ChecklistItem>

string xPath="//ChecklistItem/Row[@piID='S000000051'];
var node = xmlTemp.selectSingleNode(xPath);

if(node == null){
// the row does not exist
}

var node = xmlTemp.selectSingleNode("//ChecklistItem/Row[@piID='S000000051']");

Might worth pointing out that you are making use of an attribute selector (the brackets and the at sign) Node[@your-attribute='value']. More on xPath: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/…
