You have everything you need in .NET FCL. This is my short overview of the ways to parse XML:


  1. 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[^].
  2. 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[^].
  3. 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[^].
