read inner text based on a Attribute of xml node

how can I read inner text based on a Attribute of xml node?

I have the following xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Columns>
<field enabled="true">Appl</field>
<field enabled="true">Loc</field>
<field enabled="true">RicExtn</field>
</Columns>

I am trying to open this xml file in C# and loop through each of the <field> element and if the attribute enabled="true" then i want to extract the inntertext

i can get as far as the attibute is concerned however i'm unable to extract the inner text...

here is my code

const string strFilename = "GroupBySelection.xml";
XmlTextReader textReader = new XmlTextReader(strFilename);
while (textReader.Read())
{
if((textReader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) && (textReader.Name == "field") )
if (textReader.GetAttribute("enabled") == "true")
{
//get the value of the inner text here
}

}

please help
