RE: [xsl] Way to find second instance?

[CMangano at Newport dot com]

Thanks Chris.  The second method:

var ms = objXSL.SelectNodes("//@match")
ms[1].Value = ".[whatever = 3]"

worked for me.  You mentioned that I am using the old namespace and that
there is a better way to do this.  Do you have an example I can look at to
see the better way to do this?  Thanks.

Chris,
This isn't the best way to do this. I would pass a param to the stylesheet
using addParameter
But as you seem to be using the old namespace you can't do that. I can't
remember the old syntax but it is probably
objXSL.SelectSingleNode("//@match[2]").Value = ".[whatever = 3]"
or even
var ms = objXSL.SelectNodes("//@match")
ms[1].Value = ".[whatever = 3]"

Ciao Chris
