    copied!<p><strong>XPath is a query language for XML documents and as such it cannot alter the structure of a document</strong>.</p> <p><strong>XSLT is a proper tool for transforming an XML document into another</strong>. The XSLT solution of this problem is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:strip-space elements="*"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="node()|@*"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/*"&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt;&lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="One/node()|Two/node()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>When this transformation is applied on the provided XML document:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;Programme&gt; &lt;Intakes&gt; &lt;One&gt; &lt;Information /&gt; &lt;/One&gt; &lt;Two&gt; &lt;Information /&gt; &lt;/Two&gt; &lt;/Intakes&gt; &lt;/Programme&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>the wanted, correct result is produced:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;Intakes&gt; &lt;One/&gt; &lt;Two/&gt; &lt;/Intakes&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: The OP has changed the question radically -- now the wanted result is:</p> <pre><code>One Two </code></pre> <p>This still cannot be provided by a single XPath 1.0 expression (and as you are using C#, you probably don't have access to an XPath 2.0 implementation).</p> <p><strong>You have first to select all children elements of <code>Intakes</code>:</strong></p> <pre><code>/*/Intakes/* </code></pre> <p><strong>Then you have to iterate through the returned node-set and for each element contained in it evaluate this XPath expression</strong>:</p> <pre><code>name() </code></pre>
