SP⟁CED GO⟁TCan anyone help me understand why I can use this code with the sample bookstore xml file and I get a result of 2, but if I use my actual XML file and change book to Block, it results in 0? I can't figure out why xPath expressions do not seem to be working against this XML file. I can use the ChildNode stuff and get data just fine, but xPath experession just don't seem to return anything for me. Is it the encoding? I've tried some many xPath expressions.
