           Summary: XPathNavigator.ValueAs() throws NotImplementedException
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 1.2.5
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Linux

Description of Problem:

In mono-1.2.5.1 System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator.ValueAs(System.Type type,
IXmlNamespaceResolver nsResolver) throws a NotImplementedException. This is a
problem as it breaks our generic XPath querying application that works
perfectly on .Net 2.0.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. 
Compile and run the attached test application:
$ gmcs ConfigurationDirectory.cs Program.cs -out:test.exe
$ mono test.exe

Unhandled Exception: System.NotImplementedException: The requested feature is
not implemented.
  at System.Xml.XPath.XPathNavigator.ValueAs (System.Type type,
IXmlNamespaceResolver nsResolver) [0x00000]
  at System.Xml.XPath.XPathItem.ValueAs (System.Type type) [0x00000]
  at ConsoleApplication1.ConfigurationDirectory.QueryList[String]
(System.String query, IXmlNamespaceResolver namespaces) [0x00000]
  at ConsoleApplication1.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]


On .Net the application's XPath query executes properly, selecting 2 elements:
C:\>test.exe
2 elements found.


Actual Results:

XPathNavigator.ValueAs() throws NotImplementedException

Expected Results:

Return the selected element converted to the specified data type.

How often does this happen? 

Always.


The attached test app illustrates the problem by loading a namespaced,
schema-validated xml file and running an XPath 1.0 query on it to select
multiple elements and then converting the value of each element to a
configurable type.
