I am using VB.NET 2005. 
 
I want to delete from this XML File. If I have the following: 
 
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt; 
&lt;applicationlist&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;app&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;name&gt;AC&lt;/name&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;srcdir&gt;c:\AC&lt;/srcdir&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/app&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;app&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;name&gt;NewAppInfo&lt;/name&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;srcdir&gt;c:\Info&lt;/srcdir&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/app&gt; 
&lt;/applicationlist&gt; 
 
I want to delete one of the &lt;app&gt; sections of the xml. So I then have: 
 
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt; 
&lt;applicationlist&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;app&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;name&gt;AC&lt;/name&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;srcdir&gt;c:\AC&lt;/srcdir&gt; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;/app&gt; 
&lt;/applicationlist&gt;
