The correct XPath expressions to use are, therefore:


Snip


   (.//EnumValueDescription)[1]

and

   (.//EnumValueDescription)[last()]



Of course, in this particular case it is best *not* to use the "//"
abbreviation. What would suffice is just:

   tblEnumValues/EnumValueDescription[1]

and

   tblEnumValues/EnumValueDescription[last()]

Snip

  <xsl:variable name="EVDs" select="//EnumValueDescription"/>

  <xsl:template match="tblEnumeratedTypes">
    test (
          int,
          <xsl:value-of select="EnumeratedType"/>,
          <xsl:value-of select="$EVDs[1]"/>,
          <xsl:value-of select="$EVDs[last()]"/>
    );
  </xsl:template>


Thanks to all ...

I ended up using Jay Bryant's Solution, I could not get Dimitres'
solution to work, 
Kept getting blanks, although I now understand what was going on and it
looks like his solution should also work.

I just had to change Jay's solution from

  <xsl:variable name="EVDs" select="//EnumValueDescription"/>


To 

<xsl:variable name="EVDs" select=".//EnumValueDescription"/>

Thanks to All !
