Hy @navin.singh,

Please check the Repair option in the selector, UiPath will try tofigure it out on its own.

Also use the Open Ui Explorer to enhance your selector, you will se everything the UiPath can capture on the component.

Please let me know if it works

Regards

Hy @navin.singh,

If you want to get an attribute for a component use the ‘Get Attribute’ component.

@navin.singh
it looks like your XML has defiend a namespace (somedata, but ensure the value somedata is accepted as a valid namespace or edit it accordingly) and therefore you cannot work with local name only.

test it with a log message and yourXDocVar.Root.Name.toString

Handling namespace have a look here:

I used. Thanks to @ppr

XMLfiledata.Element(Xmlns+“instruction”).Element(Xmlns+“header”).Element(Xmlns+“interchnageid”).Value.ToString

Xmlns = “somedata” (Type XNamespace)
XMLfiledata.- is my XDocument variable.

For the XML file in example below.
