19.4 Referencing Part of an XML Document with XPointer.NET

Sometimes you want to work with just a portion of an XML document you’re processing. XPointer, an XML standard defining syntax for identifying fragments of an XML document, can help. It extends the capabilities of XPath by allowing references to external documents and by supporting selections that XPath cannot perform, such as ranges.

XPointer.NET is an implementation of the XPointer standard for .NET. It is an important foundation technology used in XInclude.NET and was created primarily to support it.
