how do i parse out member name from xml file?

            XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();

            FileStream rfile = new FileStream("c:\\1.xml", FileMode.Open);

            xdoc.Load(rfile);

            String name;

            XmlNodeList list = xdoc.GetElementsByTagName("member");

            for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)

            {

                XmlElement cl = (XmlElement)xdoc.GetElementsByTagName("member")[i];

                name = cl.GetAttribute("name");  

            }

            rfile.Close();

//here name variable contain "T:System.Web.UI.Design.SilverlightControls.CollectionEditorBase"


To read it using xmlTextReader use the following code.

            XmlTextReader myread = new XmlTextReader("c:\\1.xml");
            myread.WhitespaceHandling = WhitespaceHandling.Significant;
            String name;
            while (myread.Read())
            {
                if ((myread.Name) == "member" && myread.IsStartElement())
                {
                    myread.MoveToAttribute("name");
                    name = myread.Value;
                }
            }


try this.
