Searching XML Nodes

Feb 11 2014 5:29 PM
I have been trying to search an XML File. I have tried several methods but I can't get it to populate the nodes. Here is an example of the code I've tried.
 
XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(filename.xml);

XmlNodeList nodes = document.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("/reports/metadata]");

foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
// Show Search results
}
 
 
Here is a sample file I'm trying to parse.
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<reports id="fa34b14287d4" name="analysis" version="4.0" xmlns="http://www.awebsite.com/reports">
