Hi,
Does this work (untested):

                XmlNodeList nl = xd.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//G_NEW_DATE[BID_CURVE_DATE='05-DEC-06'and NEW_DATE !='MARKET CLOSED']//G_BC_CAT/*");

>>

>>            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
>>            xd.Load("e:\\tmp\\yield.xml");
>>            XmlNodeList nl =    xd.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//G_NEW_DATE[BID_CURVE_DATE='05-DEC-06']//G_BC_CAT/*");
>>            foreach (XmlNode n in nl)
>>            {
>>                Console.WriteLine(n.Name + ":" + n.InnerText);
>>                // Or put in a collection or whatever....
>>            }
>>
