Read a list of nodes from xml file

Have you tried using Xml.Linq?

say you have the following xml:


   
        Val1
        Val2
   
   
   
       
   


CODE:

using System;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Xml.XPath;


namespace XmlApp
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string xmlPath = @"C:\temp\myXml.xml";

            XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(xmlPath);

            // This will select the root element and its descendants
            XElement xElementRoot = xDoc.Element("root");
       
            // Selects the child elements of "child1"
            foreach (var e in xDoc.XPathSelectElement("root/child1").Descendants())
                Console.WriteLine(e.Name + " - " + e.Value);

            // Output:
            // desc - Val1
            // desc - Val2
        }
    }
}
