General Remarks

This method is only valid if the XML Query Language (XQL) feature has been included in the OS. If a call to this method is made and XQL is not supported, an error message will be returned.

The selectSingleNode method is similar to the selectNodes method, but returns only the first matching node rather than the list of all matching nodes.
