Returns an XMLNode object that represents the first node that matches a specified XPath string in the specified document.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function SelectSingleNode ( _
XPath As String, _
PrefixMapping As String, _
FastSearchSkippingTextNodes As Boolean _
) As XMLNode
'Usage
Dim instance As XMLNode
Dim XPath As String
Dim PrefixMapping As String
Dim FastSearchSkippingTextNodes As Boolean
Dim returnValue As XMLNode
returnValue = instance.SelectSingleNode(XPath, _
PrefixMapping, FastSearchSkippingTextNodes)
XMLNode SelectSingleNode(
string XPath,
string PrefixMapping,
bool FastSearchSkippingTextNodes
)
Parameters
- XPath
Type: System.String
Required String. A valid XPath string. For more information on XPath, see the XPath reference documentation on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site.
- PrefixMapping
Type: System.String
Optional Object. Provides the prefix in the schema against which to perform the search. Use the PrefixMapping parameter if your XPath parameter uses names to search for elements.
- FastSearchSkippingTextNodes
Type: System.Boolean
Optional Boolean. True skips all text nodes while searching for the specified node. False includes text nodes in the search. Default value is True.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.XMLNode
Remarks
Setting the FastSearchSkippingTextNodes parameter to False diminishes performance because Microsoft Word searches all nodes in a document against the text contained in the node.
