How to implement xmlns selectsinglenode in dom4j

[Quattro]

I have an XML file i needed to load and read the contents. How to get the value of the xmlns attribute, I think that programmatically this could be a valid implementation to retrieve xmlns selectsinglenode and by providing the default namespace problem and might be a solution that could be implemented for dom4j. This all information i got from the blog. Is there a way around this?

Selects the first XmlNode that matches the XPath expression. Any prefixes found in the XPath expression are resolved using the supplied XmlNamespaceManager.

To implement XmlNode you need to specify the Namespace and Assembly and that required details are mentioned as below:

Namespace: System.Xml
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

I will also provide you the Visual basic declaration

Public Function SelectSingleNode ( _
    xpath As String, _
    nsmgr As XmlNamespaceManager _
) As XmlNode

If the element has a namespace you need to pass that to the XML
processor with setProperty e.g.

var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0');
xmlDocument.async = false;

I was able to delete xmlns attribute without any visible side effects to make SelectSingleNode("/configuration/system.web") working.

I actually believe that there should be no need to expose the prefix programmatically, but if i am not mistaken the solution you provided is javascript. I am looking for the solution in C#.NET. the only time that a user should want to know about or define a prefix for a namespace would be when serialising the NodeSet to a XML Document. I want to get the value of the xmlns attribute, so I tried to use objSource.selectSingleNode("rdf:RDF/@xmlns")
