How to get XmlNode - SyntaxEditor Web Languages Add-on for Windows Forms Forum

ok I have a xmleditor and part of my xmleditor.document.text is the following:

<DataInfo>
     <Properties>
         <Frequency type="1" value="2" />
         <Frequency type="Monitoring" value="8" />
     </Properties>
     <Properties>
         <Frequency type="3" value="2" />
             <Frequency type="Monitoring" value="1" />
     </Properties>
<DataInfo>

My carret position is located inside the <Frequency type="Monitoring" value="1" /> node.

How can I retrieve the xmlnode which is equal to the node where my caret is located?
Is there a way to get the xpath or some equivalent information allowing to search my xml?

expected end result: xmlnode.outerxml=<Frequency type="Monitoring" value="1" />

Hi Charles,

Sorry but XmlNode information isn't directly available. However if you look at the context.TargetElement.ElementNameOffset, you know where the name of the element starts. Then you can get a TextStream at that offset and scan forward until you reach the end of the tag. That way you know the range of the tag and can construct such a node yourself.

There isn't any integrated xpath support at this time.
