Using namespace in XPath query

I have the xml file which I made a XPath request for. But it works only without the xmlns-namespace. Can You help me with the adding correct namespace qualifier (I have errors)?

xml:

<Event xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event'> 
  <EventData> 
    <Data Name="ObjectServer">Security</Data>  
    <Data Name="ObjectType">File</Data>  
    <Data Name="ObjectName">C:\Temp\Project1.txt</Data> 
  </EventData> 
</Event>

XPath:

*[EventData[Data[@Name="ObjectName" and (ends-with(text() ,".exe") or ends-with(text() ,".txt"))]]]

P.S. I'm using C++. My code based on this example from msdn. But I think its not significantly, because of I'm checking this request with online XPath tester.

Thanks.

Try this:

//*[local-name()='EventData' and ./*[local-name()='Data']
[@Name="ObjectName"and 
(ends-with(text() ,".exe") or ends-with(text() ,".txt"))]]
