Hi all;<br/>
<br/>
Ive got an XPath expression with a predicate that selects<br/>
a persons name and ID from within a nested element, using<br/>
the XPathNavigator.Select method.<br/>
<br/>
This works:<br/>
root/all_clients/client/client_name_and_ID[client_ID = xxx]<br/>
<br/>
This also works:<br/>
root/all_clients/client[client_name_and_ID/client_ID = xxx]/client_name_and_ID<br/>
<br/>
When I take the predicate to the next level, it does not work:<br/>
root/all_clients[client/client_name_and_ID/client_ID = xxx]/client/client_name_and_ID<br/>
<br/>
I do not get any filtering, but the entire set.<br/>
<br/>
Is this due to a limitation inherent within XPath, within ASP.NET,<br/>
or am I doing something stupid?<br/>
<br/>
What follows is a snippet from the relevant XML file:<br/>
