Description
Describe the bug
I use XmlDocument.SelectSingleNode to select a XmlNode. I use the optional return value to check if the XmlNode was found.
If the node dosen't exists, no runtime error will be raised, but GetLastErrorText contains neverthless the Error Message.
To Reproduce
check := XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode('//test', XmlTableNode);
Expected behavior
There is no runtime error, if the node is not found.
GetLastErrorText is empty.
I expected, that if no runtime error will be raised, that also GetLastErrorText has no value.
