The example provided assumes that the following XML file (App.config) exists in the current build directory.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0">
    <appSettings>
        <add key="server" value="testhost.somecompany.com" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

The example will read the server value from the above configuration file.

NOTE: The example below shows that the default namespace needs to also be declared. Simply set any prefix and use that prefix in the xpath.

    <xmlpeek
    file="App.config"
    xpath="/x:configuration/x:appSettings/x:add[@key = 'server']/@value"
    property="configuration.server">
    <namespaces>
        <namespace prefix="x" uri="http://www.gordic.cz/shared/project-config/v_1.0.0.0" />
    </namespaces>
</xmlpeek>

If the XPath expression specifies multiple nodes the node index is used to determine which of the nodes' text is returned.
