[MarkLogic Dev General] .NET XCC

[Wyatt]

Greetings all,

I've been playing with the .NET version of the XCC package and have run 
into an obstacle I can't seem to surmount.  Maybe a bug - more likely my 
own ignorance...

I'm trying to write a C# (VS 2005) function that utilizes XCC to execute 
an arbitrary XQuery and return a string of well-formed XML.  All is well 
if the XQuery happens to return a single element, but I'm running into 
trouble post processing it if it is not.  It appears that 
NodeType.ToString() always returns "element()"

I've been using the XdmItem as so...

//--
private string ProcessResults(ResultSequence rs) {
     StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
     while (rs.HasNext()) {
         XdmItem xi = rs.Next().Item;
         if (xi.ItemType.Node) {
             sb.AppendLine(((NodeType)xi.ItemType).ToString());
         }
         else if (xi.ItemType.Atomic) {
             sb.AppendLine(((AtomicType)xi.ItemType).ToString());
         }
     }
     return sb.ToString();
}
//--

The XdmItem.ItemType seems to accurately resolve what is a Node and what 
is an Atomic, and ToString() correctly returns "xs:string" for an atomic 
string (didn't try any others), BUT when it is a Node ToString() always 
returns "element()" even it is an attribute node???  I'd have thought it 
would return "attribute()"?

Any help would be much appreciated.
