                     doc.LoadXml(StrRequest);
                     XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
                     string s = root.Attributes["username"].InnerText;

Solution 1

Should be root.Attributes["username"].Value... and your XML look a little bit not well-formed :)

Solution 2

Change inner text to Value you will get the value of that attribute
string s = root.Attributes["username"].Value;

this is working code. Check your xml file , you might have missed something there
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(Filepath);
XmlNodeList userNodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//MainNode/Subnode1");
foreach (XmlNode userNode in userNodes)
{
string name= userNode.Attributes["Name"].Value;
}
