A convenience function to get the value of a <property> defined by the first child element of the specified node that has a matching tag name. This routine is often used to obtain properties that are organized into named groups (e.g. <database-settings>, <transport-settings>, etc.) For example, to lookup a property named "user" of a top-level <database-settings> element, GetProperty( getRootNode(), "database-settings", "user", "sa" );
