namespaces and specific xpath

Question

Hi, Can anyone tell me how can I get the xpath of the name attribute from this file:

<asmv1:assembly xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
  <assemblyIdentity name="MyName"/>
</asmv1:assembly>

I'm trying to get it for nant xmlpoke task without success.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this XPath

/*[local-name()='assembly']/assemblyIdentity/@name

Answer 2

This should do the trick:

//asmv1:assembly/asmv1:assemblyIdentity/@name
