Get path from XML File using C# -

i'm needing path c:\sourcefiles\ xml file using c#.

i have been trying different escapes methods, nothing seems work correctly.

i have tried these:

@"c:\sourcefiles\ or c:\\sourcefiles\\ or "c:\\sourcefiles\\" , 'c:\sourcefiles' 

none of these seem work when reading xml file.

xmldocument xdoc = new xmldocument();         xdoc.load(strpath);          string strsourcedirectory = xdoc.selectsinglenode("application/setup/sourcedirectory").innertext; 

here xml file:

<application> <setup>  <sourcedirectory>"c:\sourcefiles\"</sourcedirectory>  <destinationdirectory>@"c:\destinationfiles\"</destinationdirectory> </setup> 

if has done c# , xml file, please let me know how did it.

thanks,

your xml file invalid. need escape backslash \\ , close application tag:

<application>     <setup>         <sourcedirectory>c:\\sourcefiles\\</sourcedirectory>         <destinationdirectory>c:\\destinationfiles\\</destinationdirectory>     </setup> </application> 

with valid xml, able path using code:

string strsourcedirectory =     xdoc.selectsinglenode("application/setup/sourcedirectory").innertext;
