As an instance of the XPath 2.0 data model, the XPathNavigator class can contain strongly-typed data that maps to common language runtime (CLR) types. According to the XPath 2.0 data model, only elements and attributes can contain strongly-typed data. The XPathNavigator class provides mechanisms for accessing data within an XPathDocument or XmlDocument object as strongly-typed data as well as mechanisms for converting from one data type to another.
