XmlNode ParentNode???

[pxpilot]

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve title of the parent (post) by the id of the
comment, Why doesn't this work?

XML
<root>
<post>
<title>text</title>
<comment id='100'>text</comment>
<comment id='101'>text</comment>
</post>
</root>

ASP
Dim xmlRoot As XmlNode
Dim postId as Integer
xmlRoot = xmldoc.SelectSingleNode("root")
postId = xmlRoot.SelectSingleNode("root/post/
comment[@id='101']").SelectSingleNode("title").InnerText

Help!

Hello pxpilot,

Number of ways, including the xpath to take the parent node ".."
or ParentNode method from XmlNode http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.parentnode.aspx
