How do I find a XML element using c# when I know the exact path?

c#, xpath, xpathnavigator

Solution

This should do the trick:

XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.Load(@"C:\temp\data.xml");
XmlNode dataAttribute = xdoc.SelectSingleNode("/xml_api_reply/weather/forecast_information/current_date_time/@data");

Console.WriteLine(dataAttribute.Value);

Problem

How do I get information from an xml document? I have an xml document at c:\temp\data.xml and am using visual studio. The closest I can figure is: ``` XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument(); xdoc.Load(@"C:\temp\data.xml"); date = xdoc.SelectSingleNode("/forcast_informat… ``` The XML document looks like this: ``` <?xml version="1.0"?> -<xml_api_reply version="1"> -<weather section="0" row="0" mobile_zipped="1" mobile_row="0" tab_id="0" module_id="0"> -<forecast_information> etc etc... <current_date_time data="2012-08-09 21:53:00 +0000"/> etc, etc... ``` All I want to do is grab that date of 2012-08-09 21:53:00 +0000...any suggestions?
