## XPathNavigator::SelectAncestors(String, String, bool) method


Selects all the ancestor nodes of the current node that have the specified local name and namespace URI.

```cpp
virtual SharedPtr<XPathNodeIterator> System::Xml::XPath::XPathNavigator::SelectAncestors(String name, String namespaceURI, bool matchSelf)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| name | String | The local name of the ancestor nodes. |
| namespaceURI | String | The namespace URI of the ancestor nodes. |
| matchSelf | bool | To include the context node in the selection, **true**; otherwise, **false**. |

### ReturnValue

An [XPathNodeIterator](../../xpathnodeiterator/) that contains the selected nodes. The returned nodes are in reverse document order.
