Visual Basic Syntax

C/C++ Syntax

BSTR patternString,
IXMLDOMNode **resultNode);
Parameters
patternString
[in]
XSL Pattern that is to be used in the query; applied to this node's context.
resultNode
[out]
First node that is selected by the XSL Pattern query. If no nodes result from the query, it returns NULL.

Remarks
For an overview of XSL, see Using the XSL Processor. For a complete description of XSL patterns, see the XSL Pattern Syntax reference.
The selectSingleNode method is much like the selectNodes method, but returns only the first matching node, rather than the list of all matching nodes.
