Namespace:   System.Xml.XPath

public:
virtual bool MoveToFollowing(
	String^ localName,
	String^ namespaceURI
)

The local name of the element.

In the following example, the XPathNavigator is moved from the root of the contosoBooks.xml file to the first price element.

XPathDocument^ document = gcnew XPathDocument("contosoBooks.xml");
XPathNavigator^ navigator = document->CreateNavigator();

navigator->MoveToFollowing("price", "http://www.contoso.com/books");

Console::WriteLine("Position: {0}", navigator->Name);
Console::WriteLine(navigator->OuterXml);

The example takes the contosoBooks.xml file as an input.
