Hello sippyuconn

It sounds you need xpath to select all the element by specific name,
correct? Please correct me if I misunderstood anything here. Thanks.

If this is the case, you may try (//property[@name='Text'])

For example:
foreach (XmlNode xn in curdoc.SelectNodes("//property[@name='Text']"))
{
Console.WriteLine(xn.InnerXml);
}

Hope this helps, please feel free to update here, if you have any more
concern. We are glad to assist you.

Have a great day,
Best regards,
