Reading an XML file using VB.Net

Asked by PantoffelSlippers in .NET, Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Tags: xml, file, read

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to read an XML file with using VB.Net code.

I've got the following little test XML file:

<RootNode>
  <PersonalDetails>
        <FirstName>Kosie </FirstName>            
        <LastName>Venter</LastName>
        <CellPhone>082-416-8703</CellPhone>
        <EMail>kosie@kosieInc.co.za</EMail>
  </PersonalDetails>
</RootNode>

I also have the following VB code:

    Dim XMLDoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim XNode As Xml.XmlNode = Nothing

    XMLDoc.Load(Me.txtXMLFile.Text)
    XNode= XMLDoc.ChildNodes(0).ChildNodes(0)  'This should be FirstName

My problem is that:
XNode now contains the node  <FirstName>Kosie </FirstName>

If I use XNode.Value, NOTHING is returned.  I expected to get "Kosie".

What is wrong?
