Public Function SelectSingleNode (XPath As String, Optional PrefixMapping As String = "", Optional FastSearchSkippingTextNodes As Boolean = true) As XMLNode
Parameters
- XPath
- String
A valid XPath string. For more information about XPath, see XPath Reference.
- PrefixMapping
- String
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
- Boolean
true
skips all text nodes while searching for the specified node. false
includes text nodes in the search. Default value is false
.
Returns
A XMLNode object that represents the first node that matches the XPath
parameter in the document; null
if no nodes matching the XPath
parameter are found.

Setting the FastSearchSkippingTextNodes
parameter to true
diminishes performance because Microsoft Office Word searches all nodes in a document against the text contained in the node.
