Remarks

Execute an XPath 1.0 exression, using the selected XmlGeneric as the initial context node for the query. See the XPath Tutorial for examples of how to use this method, and for a primer on XPath syntax.

If you want to evaluate a generic XPath expression - with access to all the possible return types use XmlGeneric.xpath()
