Adding bindings using path expressions
You can use path expressions for data binding in two areas:
■
In the Add Binding dialog, to identify the field you are binding to
■
In the Bound To dialog box, to identify the field you’re binding from.
The following XPath expressions are supported:
■
Absolute paths:
/A/B/C
■
Relative paths:
A/B/C
■
Node selection using node name or wildcard:
/A/B/C
(node selection by name)
/A/B/*
(node selection of all child nodes of /A/B by wildcard)
/*/*/C
(node selection of all C nodes that have exactly two ancestors)
■
Predicate syntax to further specify nodes to be selected:
/B[C]
(child node syntax; selects all B nodes that have a C node as a child)
/B[@id]
(attribute existence syntax; selects all B nodes that have an attribute named
id
)
/B[@id="A1"]
(attribute value syntax; selects all B nodes that have an
id
attribute whose
value is A1)
■
