DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.

Solution 1

Loading a XML file:

C#

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(filename);

You can do it this way regardless of the Windows platform (WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, Console, or ASP.Net) you're coding for. For asp.net, you'll have to call MapPath (with the desired filename) so that you get an actual path on the server, but that's just a minor variation.

There are several different ways to parse XML in .NET; here is a short overview:

Use System.Xml.XmlDocument class. It implements DOM interface; this way is the easiest and good enough if the size if the document is not too big.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^].
Use the class System.Xml.XmlTextReader; this is the fastest way of reading, especially is you need to skip some data.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader.aspx[^].
Use the class System.Xml.Linq.XDocument; this is the most adequate way similar to that of XmlDocument, supporting LINQ to XML Programming.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387063.aspx[^].
