XML

I have an XML document and want to iterate through until I find a particular element and get a value in a particular attribute.

The XML is a snippet as follows

I want to get 1 particular value in an element lets say I want TEMP_PATH value

What I have tried:

if (!isFound)
            {
                if (currentNode.Name != "EibModel:CustomAttribute")
                {
                    //check if node has children
                    if (currentNode.HasChildNodes)
                    {
                        XmlNodeList nodelist = currentNode.ChildNodes;

                        foreach (XmlNode node in nodelist)
                        {
                            checkNode(eibPath, node);
                        }
                    }
                    else //has no children
                    {
                        if (currentNode.NextSibling != null)
                        {
                            checkNode(eibPath, currentNode.NextSibling);
                        }
                    }
                }
                else if (currentNode.Name == "EibModel:CustomAttribute")
                {
                    if (currentNode.OuterXml.Contains("EQP_NAME"))
                    {
                        eqpName = currentNode.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value").Value;
                        tempPath = string.Concat(tempPath + eqpName);
                    }
                    if (currentNode.OuterXml.Contains("TEMP_PATH"))
                    {
                        isFound = true;
                        if (txtResults.Text != string.Empty)
                            txtResults.AppendText(Environment.NewLine);

                        txtResults.AppendText("Attempting to Process File : " + eibPath + Environment.NewLine);
                        string val = currentNode.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value").Value;

                        //create directory before changing EIB file
                        log.Info("Attempting to create folder: " + tempPath);
                        // Determine whether the directory exists.
                        if (Directory.Exists(tempPath))
                        {
                            txtResults.SelectionColor = Color.OrangeRed;
                            txtResults.AppendText(tempPath + " already exists." + Environment.NewLine);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            // Try to create the directory.
                            DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(tempPath);
                            txtResults.SelectionColor = Color.Green;
                            txtResults.AppendText(tempPath + " created succesfully." + Environment.NewLine);
                        }
                        currentNode.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value").Value = val.Replace(val, tempPath);
                        txtResults.AppendText("Old TEMP_PATH= " + val + " New TEMP_PATH= " + tempPath + Environment.NewLine);
                        //return isFound;                    
                    }
                }
                else { };                   
            }
            return isFound;
        }
