how to concatenate two node?

I'm trying to concatenate two nodes with a pspace between them. They are First_Name & Last_Name. I tried the code below but it broke the bidning completely.

Text='<%# XPath("/people/person/@First_Name" + " " + "/people/person/@Last_Name" )

Re: how to concatenate two node?

Lets say you have an XML at XML/Customers.xml path.

Customer.xml

<Customers>
<Customer>
    <FirstName>Kavita</FirstName>
    <SurName>Khandhadia</SurName>
</Customer>
</Customers>

On the server side if you write this.

XDocument xCustomers = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("XML//Customers.xml"));
        IEnumerable<XElement> customer= (from en in xCustomers.Descendants("Customer")
                                             select en
                                         );
        foreach (XElement xE in customer)
        {
            txtXML.Text = xE.Element("FirstName").Value + " " + xE.Element("SurName").Value;
        }

It should work.

This is not very good approch, but as your query is ver raw, this is what I can provide you with.

Hi newbie2C#,

This seems to target the Wrong XPath. If you want to pick First Name and Last Name both with a space, you should pick them seperately. I mean you should provide Xpath as a whole for each and then merger them later.

Hope it helps...
