Hi;
I am creating an XPathNavigator with a schema of:
<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>

When I do a SelectSingleNode("/catalog/book[1]/price") I get back a string.
I assume this is because the schema is defining namespaces and because I am not setting those nor placing the set prefix in my xpath, it does a select, which works, but as it doesnt match the schema theres no type conversion.
Is that true? And if so:
1. How do I interpret <span style="color:#ff0000 xmlns:bks<span style="color:#0000ff ="urn:books<span style="color:#0000ff "<span style="color:#ff0000 targetNamespace<span style="color:#0000ff ="urn:books<span style="color:#0000ff "
2. How do I pull this info from XmlSchema and/or XmlSchemaSet for each node to know what namespace that element/attribute is using?
