There are 3 modules in this course

Learners will be able to analyze XML structures, apply XPath expressions, manipulate XML nodes using XPathNavigator, and evaluate XPath results for real-world .NET applications.

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to mastering XPath and XPathNavigator in the .NET environment. Learners progress from foundational XPath concepts to advanced XML manipulation techniques, including node creation, insertion, deletion, replacement, comparison, and iteration. Through structured modules and lessons, the course builds practical skills for navigating complex XML trees, working with attributes, evaluating XPath expressions, and converting node values into usable data types. By completing this course, learners gain the confidence to efficiently process XML documents in enterprise and application-development scenarios, reducing errors caused by improper navigation or manipulation. The course emphasizes real implementation patterns rather than theoretical syntax alone, helping learners understand when and why to use specific XPathNavigator methods. What makes this course unique is its project-oriented flow, lesson-wise progression, and strong focus on practical XML editing and evaluation scenarios commonly encountered in .NET development. It is ideal for developers seeking to strengthen their XML handling expertise using industry-relevant XPath techniques.

This module introduces the fundamentals of XPath and XPathNavigator in .NET, focusing on understanding XML structure and performing basic document creation, modification, and evaluation operations using XPath-based APIs.
